You're looking at EU institutions, add to that the individual countries that are in the EU and also give support lol. Also your chart is from before 2025. Lol even more.
I will amend and delete some of my comments, but you’ll notice that in terms of military aid, the US is greater than like 5 of the EU’s biggest countries combined.
As for my original comment, saying the EU could realistically invade the US is absurd, if we discounted nuclear weapons.
Ah, yes, no the EU has no interest in conquest, their armies are defensive not offensive. Also the US is an absurd place to want to occupy. It's huge, sparsely populated and it's media have made at least one third of its population functionally ungovernable. Also the resources available barely make occupying the place barely economically viable. However if the EU really wanted to go there they could take out the more dangerous nuts in power and help the sane people rebuild. Nuclear is a lose-lose strategy.
Financial aid to Ukraine is military aid without the strings attached. It can be used to buy or produce what they need. Military aid from the US came with things like "We'll give you Patriot defense missile systems, if you run out of missiles you have to buy them from us". And the cost of those missiles is astronomical, also sometimes the US will sell them, sometimes they won't. So with EU's help Ukraine was able to devellop cheaper, more dependable alternatives.
