The USA is only beginning to see just how much the Trump administration is going to cost. This sort of shift is going to be permanent! The EU is building up it's arms industry, and once that industry is built, there will never be a reason to go back to buying arms from the USA.
This will be with all the trade ties the republicans are breaking
Russia is not a rich country
Either is North Korea
These are the republicans future trade partners
Lockheed Martin is already dangling the prospect of building more of the F-35's in Canada if Canada continues the entire contract with them. Hopefully it's too little too late and we build the rest with Saab/Grippen from Sweden.
Between Trump wanting to invade and turn Canada into the 51st state while imposing tariffs to reindustrialize the US, and Lockheed Martin offering him the factory for the world's most modern airplane, something is beyond "business as usual."
Didnt Saab offer to build the Gripen in Canada as well?
Lockheed would just send money back to the U.S, and the F-35 would still have American systems on board.
The Gripen may not be the #1 choice, but having on board systems that cant be tampered with by the U.S makes it #1
I fear that this might be the idea. Create so much poverty that low-wage manufacturing returns to the US, with everyone from 7 to 70 working in sweatshops
Oh, that's delicious. If Big Bombs are going to lose money, maybe they're who finally start driving tanks through the White House walls to end this illegitimate nightmare and make their profits higher again.
@brenttoderian.bsky.social https://mastodon.social/@fj I expect that European countries will soon begin closing US military installations as they ramp up their own militaries.
A year? You’re being that optimistic. Just wait until the courts deny student borrowers access to PSLF and IDRs and everyone with a loan goes to a second and third level mortgage payment.
The only reason Trump wanted Europe in disarray over Ukraine is that he thought that the US could clean up on arms sales. How has that worked out for you dipshit?

My first vote for a U.S. President was Ronald Reagan and my second was for George H.W. Bush.
Trump's 'Republican' party needs to be ostracized based on what it has become: a sponsor of domestic terrorism in full alliance with Putin's Russia
