Russia is not so good on the battlefield but great at sowing dissent and getting their man elected. I’ll never understand Biden giving Ukraine just enough to not lose but jot enough to win. Ukraine is fucked. But Europeans should do more for their own defense and not rely on the U.S.

They already have been, when you look at Ukraine assistance by GDP. The US isn't especially generous, just especially rich.

The U.S. outspends most NATO countries on defense spending a percent of GDP. The Europeans couldn't end the Serbia/Kosovo situation on their own. They needed the U.S. Europe needs to do more to defend themselves and not rely so much on the U.S.
