The US has never been anyone's friend. Their participation in WW2 was riddled with quid pro quos that ensured the US's lead in production in the 50s thru 70s.
Well yeah, there are a lot of counteies helping Ukraine without demanding a quid pro quo. There are a lot of cointeies that har participated in Americas wars without demanding quid pro quo.
>a lot of cointeies that har participated in Americas wars without demanding quid pro quo
Name a country that helped in one of Americas wars without enjoying "most favored nation" trading status with the US and not enjoying a promise by the US to come to their aid if they are ever attacked.
Also ignores the enormous costs that come to the US if Ukraine falls.
UA falls, 40m people flee into Europe, Russia attacks NATO in about five years, China invades Taiwan at the same time.
Also, do you and I want to wake up in a world where Russia invades countries and tortures, kills, and abducts children? I pay taxes for a number of reasons, and one reason is so I don't have stuff like this in my life.
Trump is running the country like it's a hotel chain, not a country. Countries and geopolitics are a different game.
