The level of chutzpah on display here is out of this world. The best part is that I can absolutely see EU governments going with it in the middle of stagflation unseen since at least the 70s. They better hurry though, because in a year, that $750 billion will be worth half as much as it is now, if we're lucky.
Oh, btw: The entire Marshall Plan to rebuild a half of western Europe cost $13 billion - or $115 billion in 2021 dollars. Zelensky is asking for 6.5 times as much to "rebuild" fairly chunks of a single country that was one of the poorest ones in Europe before the conflict started.
The fact they're demanding - not asking, but outright demanding - money for "rebuilding" regions that are under Russian control is just the rotten cherry on the shit cake.
Bow to your overlords and their very serious plan where who pays for what was determined roughly the same way Vice determines their next article subject matter: https://files.catbox.moe/i73223.jpg
At least they finally gave up on Crimea I guess. Heh.
And for a more contemporary comparison, only America spent over $2.26 trillion on Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world with a much smaller population.
Along with Iraq it was more than $6.5 trillion (only America).

Shh, don’t interrupt their little “Muh Ukraine is Nazi Germany and Putin is based god” circlejerk!
They’d rather keep their frankly bizarre delusion that Ukraine is the “bad guy” here going, lol…
Which is frankly rather sad.
Frankly frank you're a Frank.
You sound like an senile old man.
