It's important to remember that when #Orban does his #Putin bootlicking thing and blocks #EU funding for #Ukraine, all that happens is each individual country donates their share directly to Ukraine instead

It's still important though to make a big deal of it, to highlight what a massive piece of shit Orban is

@benroyce I don’t believe this is how it works. At EU-level many “leaders” (warning: protofascist framing) have committed, yet on the national level resist, blaming the EU for all things unpopular with the alt right, other xenophobes and racists, and other useful idiots.

I NL, the gang leader of the real power in the Dutch govt, Lyin’ Dilan, has already ruled out extending Ukraine support. Idiots, useful.

@js

well i'm just a dumb american, but the Netherlands remains among the countries providing the most support to Ukraine

@benroyce That 90bd was additional to the already allocated national support programs. These national programs will not automatically expand in case of EU obstruction by a Putin machination.

@js

well we're both wrong

you're wrong because the money is still getting to Ukraine, delayed, with some sort of Alternative Spending (Plan B) loan

and i'm wrong because yes it won't be individual countries making loans
