In fact, the U.S., Great Britain, and Estonia are the only NATO countries so far that have been lending aid to Ukraine, and Germany is in fact actively blocking any efforts to aid Ukraine…right down to trying an dictate to Estonia what they can do with some howitzers that Estonia bought from some other country, which had in turn bought them from Germany. Germany thinks it can dictate what others can do with stuff Germany hasn’t even owned in decades.President Biden is considering sending a few thousand troops to Eastern Europe and the Baltic States as part of a broader NATO effort to bolster NATO allies that border Russia and Ukraine, given recent tensions, Fox News confirms.
See, now there is the exact reason why I don't want even one young American to die fighting in/for Ukraine. Those bums in Europe have been resting on OUR laurels for a LONG time.

“You have to be whiter than snow, or the whole world will abandon you,” Mr. Biden told the country’s newly elected president, Petro O. Poroshenko, during an early 2014 phone call, according to former administration officials.
That message was delivered just as Mr. Biden’s son Hunter joined the board of a Ukrainian gas company that was the subject of multiple corruption investigations, a position that paid him as much as $50,000 a month and —
