Sure, you need more than that to win a war. But you also really do need firepower. And the EU overall has not provided a GDP-analogous quantity of military hardware to Ukraine when compared to the US, and that’s chiefly because the EU has - as a matter of policy since the collapse of the USSR - let their overall military-industrial capacity atrophy to a fairly significant degree.
