The way I see it, the EU is building up its own defense industry, which it needs to do if they leave NATO. So one way or another, the defense spending needs to be up. Although leaving NATO would give more freedom in how to spend that money.

    Yes, they have sent intelligence and yes, they have sent weapons even if they haven't paid for them themselves. The USA was doing much more before, but it could be much worse with them restricting access to their military industrial complex.

    So lets be real about what they still do and allow, Ukraine would be in more trouble without access to e.g. new Patriot missiles. But without forgetting about the USA being unreliable, untrustworthy and treacherous to point of it not supporting its own allies.
