I wouldn't worry about it. Europe can outspend russia 15x and if europe cannot manufacture, europe will buy from other countries who can. Trump is a businessman, so even if he does not send more money to Ukraine, he will definitely, 100% allow europe to buy weapons and ammunition from the US. US benefits, and Ukraine, and europe foots the bill, as it should be in the new Trumpian world. I even imagine that he will send some token amounts or help out with non-monetary gifts, unless his 24 hour peace plan works out (which I doubt). > If that is allowed to fall, Europe is threatened.

It is an interesting question... how long time would it take for europes weapon companies to up the production? I saw a mainstream news reports from a swedish weapons factury where they have already lowered the quality in order to up the quantity of their production line to help ukraine.
