Funny in a cynical way, I just don’t get why European capitalists and arms manufacturers go along with this. They’re both getting fucked by high production costs and actively pushed out of the market, because all the Europeans are giving away their European arms and restocking with US supplys. Makes no sense to Rheinmetall and the rest as far as I can see
It’s likely the key figures in positions of power in Europe’s personal balances are being subsidized by the US bourgeoisie or are getting a cut of the profits from the industrialization of their countries one way or another. They behave as imperial capital not as national bourgeoisie.
Sure, but here the superstructure is actively destroying its base. Unless we count eg the supposed German superstructural elements in government more as shaped by and maintaining the US base, not their domestic bourgeoisie. Given that eg Baerbock is a German Marshall Fund and Young Global Leaders creature, that wouldn’t be too far off the mark I guess.

They have no choice, the US is already occupying them.
