Summarized: The article discusses former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s views on Europe’s response to the Ukraine war. Marin argues that it is morally and strategically unacceptable for Russia to outspend Ukraine on defense. She suggests that Europe could close the resource gap between Ukraine and Russia by allocating just 0.2% of its GDP. Marin emphasizes that supporting Ukraine is a matter of will and that Europe must take leadership in its own security. She also notes that Europe can no longer rely solely on transatlantic cooperation for its defense. Marin’s comments were made in the context of a report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, where she now works as a strategic advisor.
Europe is spending more than America to help Ukraine.
Source that any individual European nation is spending more towards Ukraine defense than the US? Or are you saying “Trade organization of some of the world’s wealthiest countries 1.5x the size of the US is spending more on blankets and Tylenol than America”?
No individual European country is, but you and I both said “Europe”, not “a European country”. I’m saying that of the support Ukraine has received, most of it is from Europe. In terms of different categories of military equipment, though? Yeah, the US has often been outspent. In terms of value sent by individual countries, Poland has sent the most tanks and Germany has sent the most howitzers and anti-air systems. Sweden has nearly matched the US for IFVs. Even if you completely ignore the costs of supporting the Ukrainian government financially, giving homes to all of the Ukrainian refugees, and paying for humanitarian work in Ukraine — all of which are absolutely necessary for the war effort — the only way you can think that Europe isn’t doing anything is if you’ve just never looked.
