Expert: We are selling more defensive missiles to NATO allies for Ukraine, but our own stockpiles are taking a back seat. Is this why no Iran attack?

    Well they’re moving a lot of Ukraine weapons making to Europe. Denmark for example. The metropoly may be struggling, but it’s still an empire

      if you look at the tangible numbers, there’s barely anything actually being produced in Europe

          There’s no single report summing this up, but here are a few article discussing European dependence on US arms exports

          The problem that Europe has is lack of access to cheap energy. They’re now pretty entirely reliant on expensive LNG from the US, and industries things steel production, essential to the military, are incredibly expensive as a result.
