every free country in the world needs to isolate the US. trade war the fuck out of the US, make permanent decisions to reduce our influence and get on with it. Doesn't matter if this is temporary, we've proven we have the ability to recklessly slide into an autocratic, fascist, nazi-like position way to easily to be forgiven in 4 years. this is like being in a marriage and being cheated on and then being blamed for it. there's a path back, but not when your spouse cheats and then blames you.  that's unforgivable. move on Europe. move on Australia, Japan, Canada, Mexico... bypass the US, don't fuck around with China they are in the running for the worst along with the US. Create a new coalition of the free, for the benefit of all freedom loving peoples across the world, including those still in the US.

Truly impressive that he can still know nothing of the AUKUS. I am sure HII is really thrilled about his willful ignorance.

it was one of the greatest accomplishments of the Biden presidency along with NATO expansion, arguably a trilateral agreement with the "english speaking people" of the world is even bigger though, but hey the threat of world wide fascism is no worse than a funny little rash on our kids in west texas. besides, the old man stutters and refused to talk to us so fuck him, fuck his accomplishments, and fuck freedom. let's descend into the dark ages. at least you can still buy chinese made american flag painted truck nuts for your dodge ram, or can I say DOGE ram, amirite!!

Pissing off our allies and destroying our military export market to own the libs.  So much winning.

Germany, and others, consider backing out of F-35 orders because of the concern that you know who could withhold parts/service or outright disable (whether that's really possible or not) systems.  In other words, the US is no longer to be trusted.  I can't blame that line of reasoning at all.  

The Euro Fighter might not be as good as US aviation but it's better than Russian crap.  And it won't be subject to the whims of TFG.  I'll bet Saab is looking into replacing the jet engine in Gripens for similar reasons.

It's stunning to see partnerships built over 70+ years of generally positive cooperation being blown to bits in just 50 days.

A weapon you can use in war time is better than a weapon you can't use when you need it. The Ukraine War should have pointed that out for Europe.

Every single one of our allies would be insane NOT to pursue that course of action: complete and totally decoupling from the US defense industry.

First, if the US (and by "the US," I mean our current mercurial, psychotic administration) at all disagrees with your use of a weapon/platform....the US will disable it.

Second, there is no a non-zero chance, which is rising rapidly, that one or more of our former allies will end up in actual defensive combat operations against the US.  It's a terrible idea to be in a situation where your enemy can turn off your defensive weapons as the battle begins.

The only smart move for Europe is to decouple not 50%, not 90%, but 100% from US defense systems.  F-35s are a stupid, stupid buy.  Because yep, it doesn't matter how good it is if you can't even get it up in the air when you need it.

Think the folks at Lockheed and Raytheon don't see this writing on the wall?  Think there isn't massive pants-shitting happening in their business offices?  And.....think they are viable if they have no buyers other than the US?

We are on track to completely neuter our domestic defense industry.  Fucking brilliant.

France, Sweden, the UK, and Germany 'bout to make some MONEY.  At our expense.  "America First" my ass.

hell, offer them some free beer and good food to put down all their arms and surrender
