    Europe needs to give a minimum of 0,5% of GDP until Ukraine has won. If USA stops the support, Europe must stop all aid that include American weapons and only donate European weapons - Europe first.

      Yep. NATO countries need to shift to a partial wartime stance and shovel ammo to Ukraine and build their own stockpile.

      War is coming.

      Why so low? in the 70’s we (Denmark) had a 4% budget for foreign aid! Later reduced to 2%, but we can do more if we want.
      If we were actually directly at war with Russia, we would likely spend 25% maybe more on it.
      Surely Europe can give more than 0.5% to stop Russia terrorizing Europe.
      Clearly Europe and allies need to step up the game, now that we can’t expect more help from USA efter January.
      We also need to do more against Hungary and Slovakia for being traitors to EU. That should not be allowed to go unpunished.
