Also one has to look at the % of GDP. In theory Estonia is providing more aid than anyone when you take % of GDP. Estonia is providing 0.8% of its GDP in military aid. Poland is 0.3%. The US and England are 0.1% each. Germany is a lowly 0.03% and Canada is not much better with 0.06%.

Because they know they're next. Any nation with Russians must be wary.

Heck, Pikesville, Maryland has 19.30% Russians..... but I jest re. USA. These States on Russia's border that has large Russian minorities have to be wary.

I think that plays a huge part.

Someone was alluding the other day why this was so important, why it was important for other countries to aid Ukraine, and what victory for the US looked like.

Well this is it. Ask Poland and Estonia. If Russia succeeds here, they will look beyond Ukraine's borders. Essentially this is the war that never broke out during the cold war with Ukraine not Germany being the front line. If Ukraine loses now, the rest of will surely be fighting tomorrow.

When Ukraine takes back all its territory I think they'll be inclined to follow Russia's example from when they took Königsberg and northern East Prussia to create the Kaliningrad Oblast. They rounded up all the German-speakers and pushed them across the German border. Or when the USA defeated the British, and everyone loyal to Britain was forced to leave for Canada or elsewhere. You're either with us or must leave....

If the ethnic Russians living in Ukraine prefer to be Russians rather than Ukrainians, then let it be so... in Russia. And it's not about language, there are millions of loyal Ukrainians who speak only/mainly Russian - it was forced upon them by the occupiers. We've seen videos of these Russian-speaking civilians welcoming their UAF liberators. They know what side is best.
 

I suspect you're right, though it pleases me not one bit to say so. Those circumstances, if it comes to the situation here, are ripe for abuse, especially in the aftermath of such a bitter war.

In Germany's defense, Americans pretty much eat more everything than everyone.

The U.S. has a population of 332 million, Germany's population is 84 million.

So there is a good chance that more cabbage, brats and brezln are consumed in America by virtue of it's population being nearly 4 times that of Germany...

No I am meaning in general. American's go "I'm eating German tonight! Brats with Sauerkraut (and usually that nasty stuff that comes in a can)." German's be like "Waaassss????"
