This is a shift Europeans are having to make reluctantly
Yes it was reluctantly at first, but I don’t think it is so much anymore.
EU has shown to be better at handling a crisis situation than we ourselves expected, and unity in EU and Europe on the issue, has resulted in way less reluctance as programs are decided upon in unity, like the EU SAFE program that for instance Canada and Japan have joined.
The strong cooperation in EU and Europe in many areas has shown us that we can act with decisiveness in unity when it counts. And when pressured from outside, the EU countries can stand together.More than at any previous time, European policymakers are having a crisis of faith in the American system itself
Abso-fucking-lutely!
The problem is not just Trump, it’s the American population and the Republicans and the American dysfunctional democracy.The two Franco-British-led coalitions of the willing, formed to organize European action in the Ukrainian and Gulf theaters, are cases in point.
Exactly, the success of the European determination to help Ukraine without USA is amazing. 👍 😎

Looks like the US is still fighting much of the war, but the EU is financing it.
In December, Budanov said Kyiv remained critically dependent on Washington for intelligence, including satellite imagery and early warning systems for ballistic missile launches.
A French defence ministry official also declined to comment directly on the president’s claims, but said much of the intelligence France provides is technical in nature.
Despite strained relations between Washington and Kyiv, there has been no indication that the United States has sharply reduced its intelligence support for Ukraine.
Europe finances 100%, but how much is used to buy weapons from the US? 50%?
The 34 countries of the Coalition of the Willing are financing “100 percent” of the resources granted to Kyiv, including financial support, Macron said.
The US hasn’t stopped all weapon delivery.
VP said stopping US aid to Ukraine is their proudest achievement

They still provide weapons, however I don’t know the terms of the new agreement passed last year.
No they don’t provide weapons. They’re selling weapons to Europe who provide weapons.
That’s like saying the supermarket provides food to the poor instead of the soup kitchen.
