It’s actually:
-
US 42.8 bn
-
Germany 7.5 bn
-
UK 6.6 bn
-
EU Institutions 5.6 bn
-
Poland 3 bn
(This list is military aid only.)
Getting a bit tired of the Poland strong propaganda.
Source: Ukraine Support Tracker, ifw Kiel.Do you also believe a flat tax is fair?
Country, Spend, GDP, % of GDP
Poland, 3, 679.4, 0.44%
US, 42.8, 23320, 0.18%
Germany, 7.5, 4260, 0.18%
UK, 6.6, 3131, 0.21%
Were doing what we can. I wouldn't call it propaganda. Please also consider each country GDP. Everyone have limited resources. Poland GDP is 5 times smaller than Germany or Japan and 36 times smaller than US
The US also is kind of built up to be able to almost single handedly be NATO. Our defensive strategies involve using EU countries as bases. We have a vastly different goal with our military stockpiles. (Other than making defense contractors money I mean.)
Well it is when the piss party is trying to convince everyone that Poland is the only country in the EU really helping, especially vs Germany.
They're probably old numbers in the comic. Do you have per capita aid figures? Rough calculations say
US $130/p
Germany $90/p
UK $99/p
EU Institutions $13/p (this one is weird since countries are also contributing separately?)
Poland $79/p
Aid as a share of GDP would also be interesting.
It's an old comic dude. Also you're missing the joke as well as any historical context.
Poland has been through the wringer for centuries and even ceased existing for a while. Having some issues and hating Russia are some of the least unlikely results.
Ok
Idc, I could die for the glory of Poland
POLSKA GÓRĄ 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
It probably swings back toward the scenario depicted if you divide the amount given by the total amount that those countries have available to give, but yeah, good to keep real figures in mind while we have our fun.

Poland being based as always
Poland is almost never "based". Source - am a Pole.
This is the exception, solidarity with Ukraine.
Can confirm. I'm a Pole too.
Oh sorry to hear that :-/ I forgot I wasn't on r/2visegrad4you
I really miss those countryballs.
Old joke.
Reporter is interviewing a Polish general. "If Poland were to be attacked by Germany and Russia at the same time, which army would you go after first.?'
'The Germans.'
'Why?'
'Business before pleasure.'
They don't really send the best stuff, but old stuff that would be decommissioned.
When "the old stuff we were gonna just sell on eBay" tops the enemy's "top of the most corrupt line in the world" then that's really a misleading statement.
The amazing part is how the Ukrainian front lines use the old stuff to such great effect. Imagine if they had new stuff like ATACMs?
Hopefully soon. If they allow atacms, Germany will also give taurus.
I love how Russia public military success plan involves the US getting bored of funneling money to defense contractors without any US or US contractor loss of life.
Good luck with that.
Zapierdol these jebane kurwy please.
