Twice the economy, twice the investment. I fail to see your point, that's exactly how alliance are supposed to work

> france and many others can’t be bothered to spend hardly anything

Hardly anything besides propping up 70% of the EU

Also even if you sent 100% of the money collected through tariffs back to the EU through Ukraine, what's the point we're back to square one with extra steps in the middle... The US are serving their own interests, it's totally fine, you don't have to pretend they're sacrificing themselves for the greater good of humanity.
