What? The US has taken an enormous amount of Ukraine refugees: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/us-admits-27100...

271,000! That's over double their goal of 100k! They explicitly got rid of refugee restrictions put in place at the start of the pandemic so they could let in Ukraine refugees.

Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia combined took twice more than that. 271k is nothing for US given their role in the conflict.

Those countries are next door to Ukraine, a refugee can literally walk to them vs. someone paying for a plane flight to the US. Of course neighboring countries will have more refugees...

A refugee can pay literally 200 EUR and fly to US from Warsaw. I assure you many paid up to two orders of magnitude more just to flee the county.

It’s about the local laws put in place. The EU takes refugees with almost no preconditions. Maybe that’s why the EU leaders try to come up with a peace plan once in a while, unlike UK or US.

"given their role in the conflict" is pretty ambiguous, if you're referring to russia's war on, and latest genocide of, Ukraine

could you elaborate on what role you're speaking of, and why you personally think it makes the admittances below your standards?

Go bait somewhere else, mate. Your question has nothing to do with the topic we’re discussing.

your post would be a good response to yourself mate, as your opinion of the US's "role in the conflict" has nothing to do with the topic we're discussing and seems to be bait

You’re free to just walk past by. Nobody forced you to respond.

that seems like it would be a good response to this post you made after yourself baiting and deflecting from the topic we were discussing, mate:
