Within the EU, it's mostly Germany's fault because their political leadership is too chickenshit to remove the debt limit and the ban on expeditionary forces from their constitution. 30 years ago, West+East Germany had world class armed forces, yet the current German military posture is ridiculous.

The US should keep its commitments, but there is no reason Germany cannot step up to the plate - especially given that France has a similar defense budget as Germany yet has an outsized impact on global security.

German political leadership needs to either stop blocking France+UK and defer to their security policy or build it's own domestic capacity.
