Where "War Fever" should be read as "Self-defense Desire". I think the EU has long since proven beyond any shadow of doubt that they'd much, much rather spend their money on other things.

Oh? Have the Russians learned to make their own ball bearings without Germany assistance yet? How about CNC machines, laser cutters, plasma drilling, advanced robotics, ASML EUV litography machines...?

Which is why the Russians were underestimated by NATO.
