The recent aid package to keep the Ukrainian wartime economy afloat was also fantastic. Yeah, Europe may lack the MIC of the US, but that's okay, because money can work too. Because you know who does have a really healthy, robust MIC? S Korea. You'll just need money in order to buy from them, their generosity has limits, while their willingness to do business does not.

They do happen to have one of the largest artillery forces on the planet though, and an incredibly robust domestic manufacturing base.

So, multiple ways to tackle the problem, and we'll probably want some of each.
