It's hilarious how some people actually believe Trump's lies that Ukraines support is actually freely given/a donation.

In reality, the support is literally the US selling the old garbage military equipment to the Ukraine for debt. You know, the stuff that the actual US military considers too old to actually use anymore.

Especially ironic in the context of Ukraines treaty with the US, which is why they dont have any nukes anymore. Which was most likely the reason why Russia finally felt comfortable invading them in 2014 and now.

Despite that being a lie... If it weren't, I'm not sure how that's relevant?

The EU isn't demanding that the Ukraine becomes an effective colony to be exploited at will by thenn for dubious claims of a solution. Neither did it have the treaty. Both of which were the things that made it ironic.
