That is a lie. EU and European countries has given more than double that of the US.

If you go by military support of Ukraine, this is not true. It's only valid if you include things like humanitarian support. If the US passes its support bill, it would be on equal footing with all aid to Ukraine from Europe, including humanitarian support.

Let's get the facts straight

https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-s...

Military help from EU countries is higher than US, humanitarian help is multiple times higher and so is financial help.

If US passes the bill then it will somewhat catch up. IF it passes. Perhaps it decides to degrade its international standing even more instead, who knows.

Based on what number? You tell other people not to make things up, then throw out outlandish claims without citation.

And as for the "by GDP number" - you all seem to be failing to take into account overall military spending by GDP. Most of Europe spends almost nothing because they rely on the US to present a threat to their potential enemies. It's a lot easier to spend 5% of your GDP on military spending for a year or two when the rest of the last 40 years it's been less than 1% because the US has been spending 4-8% YoY for the duration on top of the direct aid.
