EU cannot replace US aid for Ukraine – Borrell
By: Ukrainska Pravda via Yahoo News
The EU pleads poverty. The EU is the second or third largest economy in the world but its continued existence depends entirely upon dollars for democracy. The continued existence of the EU simply costs more than Europe is willing to spend.
The EU tells us that Ukraine and Russia is Biden's problem. Has anyone considered that the EU is playing us for suckers? Ukraine is another European brush war that has turned into a global war. The very existence of western civilization depends entirely upon the American taxpayer once again.
Don't y'all feel special?

Josep Borrell, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, believes that the US should reconsider its decision concerning its aid for Ukraine since the EU, in his opinion, is not able to replace it.

Details: Borrell called the decision of the US not to include the support for Ukraine in the temporary financing agreement bad news and expressed hope that this is not the final position of the US.
Quote: "Ukraine needs the support of the European Union, which will certainly be increased, but also the support of the United States. My hope, the hope of the Ukrainians, and I believe of all those who do not want Putin to win, is that the United States can take the matter back into its own hands and continue to support Ukraine."
More details: At the same time Borrell stressed that "Europe certainly cannot replace the United States" in the support of Ukraine but it is planning to extend the aid.
Quote: "Europe is increasing its support. In the table there are proposals for 50 billion euros for the civil and economic part, and 20 billion for the military part."
Background:
-
Last week, the Chamber of Representatives of the US decided not to include further financing support for Ukraine in the state budget, and voted for removing Kevin McCarthy from the office of the chamber’s spokesperson.
-
Before the voting, the White House expressed certainty that despite McCarthy’s dismissal, the Congress would be able to support additional financing for defence needs of Ukraine.

The national economies of Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy are each larger than the economy of Russia. The EU economy is 8 times larger than that of Russia. The EU economy is the second or third largest economy in the world. Yet, the EU pleads poverty?
If winning in Ukraine bankrupts the United States then is that really a victory? Why should the United States spend more than Europe to ensure the continued existence of the EU? If Europe isn't willing to make the sacrifice on its own behalf then why should we?
