The EU spends little only relative to the US.
You could just as well double the EU's relative share by halving the US military budget. The US would still spend more than China, Russia, and a bunch of other countries combined. Surely that's more than enough.
It's just that US politicians always frame it as if the total spending had.to remain constant.
