Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Ukraine still has a path to victory and allies can help it defeat Russian forces by contributing a chunk of their economic output to the war effort.
Every member of the so-called Ramstein group — more than 50 countries including all 31 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — should channel the equivalent of 0.25% of their gross domestic product to Kyiv annually, Kallas said. That would raise at least €120 billion ($131 billion) and swing the conflict in Ukraine’s favor, she said.
It is Russia that started the war, and is “stoking” it. The countries that assist Ukraine with arms are doing so to prevent Russian imperialism from expanding into Europe and beyond. It is very necessary that they continue to do so.
Look at which countries spend the largest part of their GDP to aid Ukraine and it becomes apparent very quickly.
Shouldn’t we be helping Russia fight the Americans if we don’t like imperialism? We could start by attacking one of the 800 military bases the Americans have built around the world.
