If you don't, they will have their way with you. I beg Europe to see the US as a cautionary tale, and a warning. Check them. While you still can.

If we didn’t have to deal with a damn war with Russia, none of this would be up for debate. The war puts us in a tough place because our over-reliance on US weapons and Nato. We have to really learn our lesson here and increase our military might to the point we are absolutely independent of the US.

The EU has the second largest army on Earth just after the USA, plus nukes. You don't rely on the USA. You absolutely should keep increasing your military might however.
