      The US did halt lend lease shipments to the USSR in the middle of Stalingrad in order to support actions in Tunisia.

        That’s a very different context and you know it. That’s resource scarcity and triage. What’s happening now is we’re switching teams to the bad guys.

          Yes, I am quite aware. US cut off intelligence to Ukraine and are planning to end sanctions with Russia which is as if the Americans stop cooperation with the Soviets completely during WW2 and gave lend-lease to the Nazis instead.

          I personally see Russian conflict with Ukraine to be more grey vs grey considering that there is footage of Ukrainian troops mowing down pro-Russian protesters with guns in post-Maidan Mariupol (not as bad as Russia’s Bucha atrocity I admit) but to each their own.

    When you stop holding international laws when it doesnt work for you “see the zionist project” and then try to force it when it work for you, “see iran sanction and russia sanction” then now you get into a situation where a powerful government stop to pretend and ask “why i am doing this for other countries when i can take the money for myself”

    European has supported the united state atrocity fully knowing they are committing illegal and war crimes, “see Iraq war” it is surprising to see these leader being shocked because any one with brain cell can tell you not to trust the US or any other country for that matter and always have plan b, c, to z.

    The US has been ditching its allies a thousand times over. Using this comparison for Ukraine is a stretch

      It isnt if you actually look at the context instead of just slinging about fallacious platitudes
