Britain used to be able to do all this, until the 1-2 punch of Thatcher and Blair made the whole government a useless mess that can't do anything and most certainly won't do anything to fix itself. The French can do all this, even if they ditched conscription when the wall fell. Germany could do all this, but they need a government that is willing to move past from 1992 and more importantly, understand that they need to be more than just a bunch of naïve amerophiles.
They were never near their WW2 levels. Not even close. The US actually was. And many of those countries imported shit from the US. Social programs are a blight on the human race.

I haven't seen the take much but I know it exists and I wouldn't be shocked if LaserPig shares it.
That's been very common take among obsessed bongistanis and yuropoors on /k/ and other places for a long time. And seems to be exactly the sort of thing the Pigger would smugly proclaim given his commie proclivities.
"World War 2 would be won by British brains, American brawn, and Russian blood." -Joseph Stalin at the Tehran Conference, 1943
But muh 82nd in Market Garden,
That is common because they really don't want to admit they owe America literally everything they have today. Our men died on foreign shores for their country, and they can't help but mewl about how cool their one dinky destroyer was in this one battle where battleships were slugging it out and honestly it didn't help much at all.

To the defense of the pig, I remember he said that USSR would not have been able to win without lend lease.
