Here's a fun example of "lying with statistics" I just saw on the fedi timeline (allocation as a percentage of GDP). I only care because I'm guessing these folks are trying to say the US didn't donate enough to have a say in Ukraine's peace negotiations... But when you look at the other graphs from the same source (https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/) you can see that the US wasted far and away more money and military aid on this war than any other source.
