  • Concerning if true.

    However, it should be noted that other sources have been unable to verify this claim.

    On top of this, National Post was founded, and describes itself as, a Zionist newspaper.

    National post has, in the past, falsely reported that Iran passed a law requiring Jewish people to wear badges signifying their religion, with the article also featuring an image of Jews in Nazi Germany with Jewish armbands. This reporting was false.

    None of this outright proves this claim is true or untrue. It’d be wise to take it with a grain of salt until we know more.














  • I mean the US also has more money to throw around. Of course they’ve sent substantially more. If you look at it by GDP, they’re pretty similar, with the UK giving 0.37% and the US giving 0.33% (I was unable to get extremely recent data, though, this only goes up to this summer).

    Nor is it easy to quantify everything. How much value do you assign for the US using their soft power to encourage other countries to help, or at the very least not hinder the Ukrainian side, or settling Turkey down in their shenanigans that are destabilising NATO?

    How much do you assign for the UK being the first to send NATO-standard tanks and long distance missiles, leading to others doing the same? How much value do you assign the extensive military training they’ve been giving Ukrainian troops?

    How much do you assign for either of the two providing their world-leading special intelligence services to Ukraine?

    I don’t think tit-for-tat “well my country provides more” discussions are particularly helpful. When we see other countries helping we need to applaud and say that’s based af, we should do that too, not get defensive out what we’ve provided.
