It figures prostitutes love making money.
"...they must have really needed money..."
And I'm sure there was no accountability for where that money went, like there is no accountability for the billions Ukraine has already received from this country.
The U.K. stepping up..."that has already happened."
As of the end of February, the U.S. has sent $75.4 billion. The UK $17.5 billion. Even Japan has sent $8.3 billion, about half of what the U.K. has sent, and more than a lot of the other European countries. The UK needs to step up a little more, as do all the other nations. This is ludicrous.
The US economy is over 10 times larger than the UK economy. In 2023 US GDP was $27.36 trillion, whereas UK GDP was £2.274 trillion that year (the latter's economy is also 5% smaller due to Brexit). Japan's GDP in 2023 was $4.2106 trillion (approaching double that of the UK). You can hardly expect an economy as small as that of the UK to match the USA's contribution. The US dollar is also the International Reserve Currency which means you can basically print money without domestic inflation.
Also, most of the US contribution is not current taxpayers' money, it is mainly money already spent on the USA's huge defense budget going back 20 years (for weapons and ammunition), just 3-5% of last year's budget. That money would never reach US taxpayers even if it was not given to the Ukraine. They don't give them much actual cash, when they say $40 billion to Ukraine, what they mean is the original value of hardware, shells, missiles, bullets etc, very little of it is cash and that's mostly only for humanitarian aid.
I think the $300 billion in Russian assets frozen in Europe, the USA and Japan, should be used to support Ukraine’s war effort. (More money than that would be due to Ukraine as war reparations from Russia if there was any chance of making Russia pay out in the future.) It could allow the Ukrainians to hold their positions and escalate their attacks to the point where the Russians would be more amenable to a peace deal with fair terms for Ukraine.
