IMO, if you are a democracy with characteristics of kindness and decency, half of one percent of your GDP is the absolute minimum you should contribute to help a country suffering genocide from a gigantic pack of Nazi savages.
Please have a rethink: all of you.
Only Luxembourg has a bigger GDP per capita than Ireland, yet Ireland has contributed 0.02%. Cheap bastards!
Ditto New Zealand, Australia, Turkey, SK, Switzerland etc.
France; one of the worldโs top economies, contributes 0.05%! Sick!
SK has 35,000 US troops protecting it from a piss-ass country ruled by a fat kid, yet they give 0.04%! Bastards!
Yeah, Ireland really stood out to me too. They should be embarrassed.
It’s sad to see so many purported freedom-loving, human rights-supporting democracies do so little to help this democratic nation in its epic fight for survival and to stand strongly against the criminal shithole.
Iโm not faulting countries like Ireland, although I wish more was done, but I am faulting those countries big or small that owe much and are doing so little:
1. Budapest Signatories. Yes in absolute terms US and Uk are big contributors but shouldnโt they be more? They pushed us into relinquishing our power.
2. The Minsk Conspirators – outside the Budapest signatories itโs Germany and France that contributed so much to our current dilemma and atrocities. Where is the overwhelming support that they should provide? Do you have any shame?
3. Eastern European Countries. Slovenia sticks out for me as does Hungary. Obviously Hungary has forgotten what Russia did in 68, with the tanks, the deaths. I guess they have shorter memory then what I believe Ukrainians will have after this war and will harbor for centuries. Slovenia should be at the forefront with countries such as the Baltics, Poland, Slovakia. Donโt they think they can be easily overcome by the orcs, not necessarily in direct war but the subversion Russia has caused over the past decades. Moldavia (I canโt fault them as they are poor but shouldnโt there be at least an effort). Romania?
4. Turkey – not much I can say except WTF?
All that said, I appreciate all that is given especially countries like Denmark and the Netherlands who have put to shame many of the other western countries and leaders. They are the ones carrying the torch and showing the way. May God bless them and please keep our people and heroes safe.
Ireland was a very poor country when it joined the EU. Even after 50 years, it is still a net beneficiary, for reasons that only the EU can explain.
In recent years it has become incredibly rich, for reasons I donโt fully understand. It is not in Nato, has a tiny army and relies on the RAF for its air defence, for which it pays nothing.
I expect them to provide nothing militarily to Ukraine, but they certainly should provide cash.
In proportion to its wealth, a contribution of $5bn/ yr to Ukraine would not be unreasonable.
Unfortunately it has a large tankie element: Sinn Fein/IRA, which has been a RuSSia client since the 60โs
