Many Americans, especially those on the political left, won't agree with this, but here it is:
The United States has already provided Ukraine with more than $130 billion in military and financial aid. At some point, enough is enough. It's time to stop writing the checks and let Europe take the lead.
Ukraine is on Europe's doorstep, not ours. If European leaders believe Ukraine's defense is vital to their security, then they should be providing the majority of the weapons, funding, and humanitarian support.
At the same time, some European nations have been unwilling to fully support U.S. efforts against Iran, restricting access to bases, airspace, and other strategic assets. Yet they continue to expect the United States to shoulder the burden of global security.
Europe's leaders have spent years creating many of their own challenges, including in some cases letting the radical Islamic Muslims to take over their countries and now expect American taxpayers to help solve them. The era of unlimited U.S. support should come to an end.
America's focus should be on America's interests. Right now, Iran poses a direct threat to U.S. forces, allies, and global stability. That should be our priority.
Europe can take care of Europe. Ukraine can take care of Ukraine. America needs to focus on America.
