@xtrey19x The EU is not a defence alliance. Your lot keeps forgetting that.

@xtrey19x You were putting the blame on the EU. Now you're admitting that individual countries send arms directly. You were also generalising. The biggest contributor of arms to Ukraine in relative terms is still EU country Estonia. Not only that, they're a front line state, too.

@xtrey19x Oh, you're trying to patronise me. Relative as in by GDP per capita. How else would you do an apples-to-apples comparison? Similarly, I could claim NAFTA is not contributing enough arms to Ukraine, since Mexico is giving none whatsoever. I'm not making such a claim, because it sounds downright silly, but it seems acting silly doesn't bother you.

@xtrey19x I see analogies are a novel concept to you. The EU's Association Agreement with Ukraine wasn't directed against Russia, nor was EU membership on the table then. You must be a throwback to the previous century, since you believe that sovereign countries can't forge alliances of their own choosing. Well, Putin agrees with you. He jealously wants his imaginary sphere of influence respected. You empower him. The US is by far the biggest country in the anti-Russian coalition, whereas Estonia is one the smallest. I'd like to see the look you get when you, as an individual, brag to an Estonian how big a contributor to Ukraine's heroic struggle you are. In Europe, we have a special facial expression for Americans who flaunt their ignorance.
