How do You explain Pakistani shipments of ammunition to Ukraine if it is 100% NATO War?
Australian armoured cars?
The truth is that
Ukraine is fighting the war against Russia, and noone else.
Ukraine gets a lot of help, without which it would have lost - even though the Russian army is totally incompetent.
If Russia wins, the world loses
If Russia loses, the world (minus trolls) wins.

It’s not hard to understand. The point is France is contributing less than South Korea, who is not in Europe. They are inherently selfish. More so than every/most other European countries. The fact they contribute to GDP means nothing. WHy don’t the rest of the countries stop paying Ukraine, and let’s let everybody’s GDP impact defend against the Russians.
Or why don’t we tell Sweden not to bother joining NATO, surely the GDP of NATO will be all it will need to defeat against a future threat.
And France go it alone, yes, and now they will certainly fail as its beyond most countries ability to produce the next gen on their won.

The funny part is only, why should always Europe and the West take care in such cases? Where is a joint and combined Arab & Muslim initiative to solve this issue at first politically and maybe even with military means in the sense of peace keeping forces?
But for you these are surely the same reasons, why only the West should fight hunger and diseases in Africa, why only the West should feed Africa … and Russia can do whatever it wants!
If Russia was fighting NATO they would know about it.

But they do know, don't they?
Because it's a Western created problem. It was European Jews who stole Palestinian land initially followed by a flock of Zionists from around the world.....All supported by Britain and the US. With regards to the West and Africa, just read the confessions of an economic hitman. Western countries "invested" & colonised much of Africa only to loot them dry. So either the west stops with it's sick foreign policies or they fix the problems they started.

You obviously have no clue how this works - at all.
France ships 90% of its aid through the EU.
Your statistics only shows the remaining 10%.
France does not ”contribute to GDP”.
France ships X billion dollars of aid to Ukraine.
France has a GDP of Y billion dollars.
To evaluate how helpful France is, you calculate X/Y.
The US has a GDP of roughly 25,000 billion dollars.
They have provided, lets say, 75 billion dollars.
Their contribution is 75/25,000 or 0,003 of GDP, or 0,3% of GDP.
France has a GDP of roughly 3,000 billion dollars.
They have contributed 0,5% of GDP or $15 billion.
Since 90% is shipped through EU, your statistics only show the remaining 10% according to which France contributes around $1,5B.
That just means that your statistics are wrong
The UK is contributing €13,8 which is around $15B.
So the US contribution is 75/15 = 5 times larger than the contribution of France.
The US economy is 8-9 times larger than the economy of France.
A larger economy can obviously support more than a smaller economy.
France has a population of 68. million. Each Frenchman provides $221 to Ukraine.
The US has a population of 333 million. Each American provided $225 to Ukraine.
ERGO: No real reason to complain about France.

Why does NATO need to get involved.
The Ukrainians seem to be doing pretty well, we just have to give them the arms and sit back with a bottle of Pepsi and the popcorn and enjoy the show.
Ukraine don't need NATO boots on the ground, they are what Russia isn't, a highly trained, highly professional army.
Netherlands, germany, denmark, poland, all support through the EU as well, yet still give more next to the EU.
Netherlands has a population of 18 million. And not much of a standing army.
France is one of europes military powers, wants to be a leading european power….yet seems more then happy to be at the back of the EU pack during this crisis?
That said…americans and britain indeed need to tone down with their “biggest supporters” considering the EU heavily out-donates them as a whole.
No, Russia is claiming they are fighting NATO in order to explain this failed attempt of an invasion. Lavrov repeating a lie and you pretending to believe it doesnt make it true.
