1. There is no point of investing money domestically if you have an expansionist neighbour on your border that continually attempts to expand eastward, challenging the sovereignty of your member states. You must always neutralize an external threat before it overtakes you.

A couple things I disagree with here.
1. The West doesn't have to match Russia's production of 155mm artillery shells. In fact, they don't really have to even come close. What they do need to reach is a level in which Ukraine can fire 3000'ish 155mm shells per day, supplemented by 105mm, 122mm...
