It’s high time Europe becomes self reliant on this topic entirely. Not only is the US not supporting Ukraine directly anymore, they make Europeans buy their weapons systems AND add a surcharge on top. Genuinely disgusting, as everything under this regime.
Imagine the NATO partners had categorically ruled out their support for the one time Article 5 was invoked or made the country calling it pay extra for their support. Unthinkable.
The "America First" principle leads to an "America Last" situation when it comes to willingness to support US military interventions. To be honest, European countries have been used as a shield to cover up the corporate interests behind them.
