These countries are frightened of Russia. They are thinking that by hoarding their war equipment, they will be in better position for national defense. They are not looking at the big picture. If Russia wins over Ukraine, nothing will stop the march across Europe. Our government won't lift a hand.
True. Norway has drasticly increased defence spending, but are not hoarding material. Excisting government is just not getting the gravity of the situation.
Of course not. Supporting Ukraine is an investemnt in US and European security. It is trillions cheaper to make ukraine able to win the war now, than to del with what comes after, if Russia wins.
Personally I think peace talks is a fantasy. Putin didn’t start this war to have peace talks. He hasn’t shown any signs of wanting peace. This is because he wants to break the existing world order.
I think military solution is the only option.
What makes Putin less trustworthy than a US led by (people like) Trump?
Every armed conflict that doesnt end in the total destruction/genocide of one or more of the parties involved (is that even something you want? Or putting morality aside: a reasonable expectation?) ...ends with peacetalks.
See my previous comment.
A simple military solution is making Ukrine win the war. That means taking back their territory, and keeping their independence. To do this Russia must lose the war.
Then there will be piece.
And we will have stopped the ongoing genocide, which I guess you're reffering to?
Well United States hat says it's giving most of all and that they are so great
At the same time they are cutting enormous costs by sending weapons destined for expensive destruction to Ukraine and making huge profits by selling weapons bought by Europe and sent Ukraine
True. Europe is supporting at least as much as the US. 2/3 of all american support ends upp in domestic us weapons factories. This war creates us jobs!
I am a Norwegian citizen, and I completely agree. We are making an unacceptable amount of money from this war, and should have taken greater financial responsibility towards Ukraine. But I don't think Norwegian politicians are tough enough, large transfers of money to Ukraine could make Putin angry.

As they say, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Like their neighbours, Sweden and Denmark?
The only ones, not giving up on surplus stock is the escalation managers.
And Ukraine is going to give all of its after the war profits to Europe and the US? Since we made sure your country even exists?
Since then, especially in 2023 and 2024, they have been losing territory.
We should have started peace talks earlier, as some people who were attacked and demonized for it pointed out, at the time.

Unfortunately.

USA should start to pay.
That was during the end of the 2nd Republic, let's see how much worse it gets during the Nazi-USA era with the Orange Puppet Emperor?
