Eu doesn't have the weapons to replace the US, much less do anything more. All action by EU and European Nato is at best a political stunt to make US and Trump to change their minds.

The European Union as a whole already spends more on defense than Russia or China, it is just a matter of coordinating spending by unifying efforts

Money spent=/=production or productive capacity or performance.

Everything in the west is just really fucking expensive, because defense industry is a racket meant to make profit not weapons.
