> edit: not sure by which part of the world this is downvoted ;)

It's downvoted because of this:

> Well most of the nations of the world didn't do anything for Ukraine, or supported Russia one way or the other.

Most of the world supports Ukraine or at least is not pro Russia, as you can see in UN votes. In latest vote, USA voted like Russia, North Korea and Israel, China abstained.



The U.N vote is a good point but doesn't negate which countries did or didn't do things in relation to this war in the last three years.

And after all Ukraine is far away for a lot of the world (but Russia maybe not so much).


Most countries can't afford funding a war on this magnitude even if they wanted to. And this war still squarely concerns solely the West, which the US is a part of, even if Trump overestimates the size of that pond.
