Ukraine makes around 70+% of the weapons it needs domestically, we (EU + Norway, Canada, Japan, Australia ...) can do this without the USA.
What a disgrace the whole USA has become, I guess they have to go through the whole "become a modern country" thing too.
I hope you are right, but I have my doubts.
Scandinavia, Baltics, Poland obviously know what the Russians are like.
Can't say the same about Germany (Merkel is still trying to Baltics/Poland for russian genocidal imperialism and Schröder is a direct collaborator). And Germany isn't the only example (forget about Hungary, that's a basket case in this context).
Germany is painfully slow to act, but it has objectively been the biggest backer of Ukraine in terms of material and financial support outside of the USA. It generally seems to need someone else to take the first step, but will follow through once someone does. That's a hell of a lot better than Hungary
What you're saying about German support is indeed true (that's why I said it's not even worth discussing Hungary), but it's also undeniably true that both Merkel and Schröder were commited supporters of russian genocidal imperialism.
Case in point (from Oct 2025 no less):
Merkel blasted by Baltics, Poland for suggesting they share blame for Russia’s Ukraine invasion
I will note that she has never made any statements around the universal support for imperialism among the russians (84% supported the annexation of Crimea and this is with preference falsification accounted for). Yet she is clearly comfortable blaming Poland and the Baltic nations, that warned her that the russians cannot be trusted and are incapable of good faith actions or negotiations.
