NATO is not just the EU. NATO is nothing less than the US military empire, literally occupying countries.Just seeing a lot of desparate hoping but no real action. Wars are extension of economy and industry contests, the moment EU showed it can't do anything about Russia's economy, they were in a severe disadvantage.
The reality on the ground regardless if you like it or not is that Russia has become one of the most rapidly expanding states in the world, adding more than 5 Israels worth of territory to itself in just 2 years...
And the US economic situation is far from being that bad. On the contrary, this war has made the EU buy more from the US and less from Russia.In fact, it helped the US economy a lot.
