Why did the US send $41B to Ukraine? Why is the US taking sides?

Act of war against Ukraine, per the article.

While Ukrainian conflict shows the opposite?

You seem to be worried because of _just enough_ of part of somehow your money is given to Ukraine. Come on. They are fighting for all of us. And all we need to do is to give support. And you are getting tired. I am also disappointed that the west have not acted as a single front. In EU it seems we cannot even put puppets like Viktor Orbán in control. Yes, whole west needs to step up. Russia doesn't listen anything else than force. Period.

The ones in Ukraine should just take the money we keep sending over there... I supported the war effort early on, but now it's just NATO trying to bait russia into a greater conflict...

You might want to check some reliable sources about how the war is going for Ukraine, because it seems like you think they are kicking some Russian bootie, which is simply not the case. Take the US (and risk of mutual worldwide nuclear contamination) out of the equation and Ukraine would be in even worse shape.

It's Ukraine's choice to do whatever they want.

you should google what kind of military aid usa provided to ukraine between 2014 to 2022. if it won't help you, probably your internet wasted and there's no problem discontinuing it.

tl;dr USA is evil because it helped Ukraine defend against Russian meddling.

The EU has donated more to Ukraine's war effort than the US, despite coverage suggesting otherwise.
