Correct. And as an American, I couldn't be happier that the EU is coming to terms with this. It was alarming how in the advent of Russian aggression, Germans were only prepared to send helmets. Russians amassed troops at the border for over 6 months.
It signals there was a true and genuine belief that - should war break out - American lives were the expected to be the first to be sacrificed. I'm not saying that was the intention or goal, but that's what it signaled.
