The reason Ukraine has done so well is because they have been trained and equipped by nato since 2014, those efforts were ramped up significantly when Russian actually invaded.
Yes, Europe could likely defend Ukraine but your point falls apart when you realize that Ukraine held Russia off when the USA was dumping money and equipment on them and when one party here stymied those efforts the battlefield shifted.
Yes. Europe could do it, however right now Europe isnt doing it and hasn’t been doing it without the USA being the biggest contributor and leader.
This is not some point of pride of me as a American, I wish we were able to spend more money domestically and I wish we could fight poverty and inequity and our schools being shit with this money. It is simply the nature of the world right now:
Yes, Europe could do it. But they aren’t right now.

Unless I’ve missed something, this thread is about Belarus/Russia attacking EU, not about support for Ukraine.
Its an active example of the thing we’re talking about, on /c/ukraine
Example in argument for what though. That EU/NATO is incapable of protecting themselves without the US? It’s not comparable.
