Pres Trump: ‘I think Europe has given $100bn [to Ukraine] and we’ve given, let’s say, $300bn plus.’ The most reliable figures show the EU has given $138bn to Ukraine, while the US has given $114bn. In 2024 Europe and Canada provided nearly 60% of NATO’s security aid to Ukraine.

He's making up his numbers like he made them up for the value of his assets / businesses.

What the hell is wrong with the BBC world service? I had to switch it off today after listening to a story featuring three mindless Trumpers talking uncontested nonsense about how brilliant everything is with Trump in charge. You seriously couldn’t find one single non Trumper American? 🙄

It is time for Starmer to grow some balls and move the UK closer defensely and economically to the EU, Trump cannot be trusted and is a potential danger to the UK and its allies. Should the other members of the 5 eyes share intelligence with the US at this time?

Europe is also hosting millions of Ukrainian refugees. The US is not Europe (inc Turkey) is also hosting millions of refugees from other conflicts. The US is not, despite the fact that it is at least partially responsible for some of those conflicts

I also understand that the valuation of military assistance given to Ukraine is basically self assessed. So if obsolete equipment is donated, then the donors still take credit for full value as part of the calculations (like the UK chieftain tanks which were effectively written off by UK)

Alas, he's not interested in facts. He prefers lies and distortions. And he's livid because Volodymyr Zelensky had the audacity to politely decline his proposed theft of Ukraine's mineral resources. Hence the personal insults. Classic 'tantrump.' Like a spoiled child who's been denied sweeties.
