This just shows that the "Russian Threat" is non-existent. If Russia was a serious threat to the EU, those countries would be heavily militarized with strong state weapons industries. The fact that Europeans have such a lackluster production, shows that they don't really believe Russia is any threat to them.

Exactly, and US is basically the sole reason why there are poor relations between Europe and Russia. Both greatly benefit economically from having good relations, and after USSR collapsed there isn't even any real ideological difference. The whole conflict is entirely artificial and serves to keep Europe subservient to US interests.
