    Most of it is replica spending. As in, there are 27 different supply lines where there could be one. If Europe were to compete with the United States, it would have to become more unified within a European model. Whilst some of this is done under NATO, the merger of National armies into a grand European army would be far more cost effective and become far more parallel to the likes of the US, Russia and China.
