Does this include non-lethal support? We can all support others by accepting them into our country and providing assistance, but that is not the same as providing them with the ability to fight the enemy.
Support for lethal ability should have its own category as what Ukraine truly needs is the ability to fight the aggressors.
Technically, the US provides nonlethal support to over 12 million people from Mexico and also countless others. I fully understand that this is changing in the current political climate, but non-lethal support is completely different from lethal support.
Really puts into perspective just how big the US economy is. 31 countries. Wow
Now do arms budget. Especially pre and post Ukraine invasion.
Poland as usual done dirty by being listed way behind their rightful place on the gdp list you provided.
BTW US gdp is 30.5 Trillion, so still higher than the coalition, a Belgium worth higher.
European military spending is roughly half American, but they don’t get nearly half the firepower and they really should. It’s partly because instead of utilizing economies of scale like the US, every country has its own tank design etc. If they were spending it more effectively they’d have all they’d need for their security and more.
There are 1.5 million soldiers currently under arms in Europe, it’s enough to send Putin scurrying back to his datcha if their massive resources were actually used in a sensible way.
Europe needs to streamline all of this and start procuring stuff like one military, because functionally that’s how they would have to act if they ever came to blows with the Russians.
Of course this helps, but the US can still cause terrible problems for Ukraine, as they have demonstrated. If they turn off intel, particularly spy-sats, and Starlink comms, and block the use of US-made weapons in the conflict, that has a huge impact. The US has shown it’s willing to be this anti-Ukraine and it’s beyond the power of the rest of the coalition to compensate for that.
Why is the Ukraine losing then?
I wonder what it looks like in PPP.
