Russia is our problem, they are working with Iran and North Korea. Unless you think Iran is misunderstood then you shouldn’t be okay with giving money to Russia.

We don’t need to jump in swinging every time Russia tests the EU (although I do think Poland gets a pass, they take their military obligation to NATO seriously) but we shouldn’t be giving Russia any money.

Neither Iran or North Korea are our problems.

China is. EU is rich they can pay to defend Poland

Are kidding yourself? Russia has always called the west their mortal enemies. Pretty much every war and terrorist group in the middle east was funded by Russia. I don't know if you get paid pretending to not understand that or just stupid. But Russia is a very real threat not only to Europe but especially now with their hybrid warfare also a theat to the US directly.

China less a military threat but rather economic threat, but nevertheless, Chinas leader got invited to the white house and Trump repeatedly called him a good and powerful friend. A fried who is not directly attacking our allies

Terrorism funding is coming from our "friends" Saudis
