US is the cause of Ukraine’s failures in the war against Russia

The US Congress has appropriated more than $174 billion and signed / approved by Biden under 5 supplemental appropriations acts for Ukraine since the recent invasion by Russia per www.gao.gov. European countries appropriated approximately $50 billions per crsreports.congress.gov in security assistance to Ukraine.

The US contribution from American taxpayers to Ukraine overwhelms all others combined. This is for a Ukraine that has not been an official ally of the United States, and not a NATO member, but since 1991 has enjoyed “friendly and strategic relations” with Ukraine per en.wiki pedia.org.

It seems a bit disingenuous to criticize such a financial commitment from a non-ally, especially when you compare this $174 billion that greatly exceeds the 2022 year Ukraine GDP of $160.5 billions per the World Bank. Certainly, the US acts in its own interests, but such interests have fortunately benefited Ukraine in its fight to protect its sovereignty.

Furthermore, this criticism of the United States financial commitment to Ukraine by your first post on our Irish (and not US) platform seems rather odd, especially when you claim to be living in the US for the past 10 years. Other posters on this thread have also questioned why you have posted here. Eire is a member of the EU, not NATO, and remains officially neutral, so why post Ireland?

If your interest is in Ukraine sovereignty, by incredibly blaming the Russia Ukraine war on the USA after its extraordinary financial appropriations, are you not posting in Ukraine’s best interests by slapping the hand that feeds? Or worse, unwittingly discouraging future US appropriations for Ukraine that, of course would benefit Putin and Russia?
