Well, let's not exaggerate this. It's not like I don't pay roughly 70% taxes here in Europe when all is said and done. The welfare state is by far the boggest government expense.

Raising the defense spending by doubling it is costly, but not nearly as costly as the welfare state.

Also, let's not forget the reason Europe needs to be prepare for war is not caused by the Russians, it is what the American deep state did in Ukraine in 2014.

We will be fine without the US. 90% of militsry expenditure of lives and money for the country I live in in the last 25 years has been for missions to Iraq and Afghanistan. We were forced to participate in those illegal conflicts, because we were part of NATO.
