I'm no geopolitics expert, so this might be way off the mark. But it seems like many in Europe are really overplaying their hand here.

  On the contrary, the US is making the mistake of believing their own fake numbers.

    The U.S. makes up most NATO spending.

      I'm pretty sure no NATO countries actually consider the US a dependable ally at the moment. So US spending is kind of irrelevant really. And if the US were to actively work against its NATO allies (seems pretty likely at this point), US NATO spending would be considered more of a negative rather than a positive.

        As a layman, I think this opinion is wrong. I think it's clear that the EU position vis-a-vis Russia would have been greatly compromised had it not been for the magnitude of U.S. military spending.
