Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting

I never once brought morality into it nor said we were doing any of it for altruistic reasons. That being said it was still done.

I also don't think our "payment" as you put it was sufficient to offset the ongoing costs post WW2. My take was these costs are now no longer worth it and we should let Europe stand for Europe.

You implied the US entered WW2 to help out the European allies and thus they still owe you. But as the person you're responding to pointed out, you entered it of your own accord, pursuing your own interests.

So, no, we're not going to, in your own words, "compare them to WW1 and WW2 and see if we owe you any money".

Moreover, the US were paid back for any weapons or resources you supplied.

Now, about that article 5. You were saying?

Please don't perpetuate flamewars on HN. If you get to "you are gaslighting", it's time to step away.
