U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers’ participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
As I always said, the US never cared about the defense expenditure of European countries except as a way to bolster US exports.
It was always about extortion and never about defense.
Have they thanked us for buying their weapons yet…
And I don’t think they were wearing the right suits …
I dunno I heard some American with a spray tan say that they didn’t need Europe or Canada…
Let’s ditch the American weapons.
MAGA: AMERICA FIRST!
Rest of world: OK, I guess we need to put ourselves first, too.
MAGA: NOT LIKE THAT!
We want Greenland. We think you are all worthless freeloaders. We wish to kill your businesses with tariffs because you dared to sell us things (and we don’t care how bad that will be for our people. My voters are too stupid and brainwashed to care and the opposition doesn’t matter)… Also buy our weapons!
According to two of the sources, Rubio said any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington,
Ah ah ah ! “Would be seen negatively”… Ah ah ah !
They say this after taunting Germany last month on a visit in Munich where they basically said you‘d have to have military power to be sovereign.
Maybe they should object to the reasons that made us buying European in the first place.
Plsplspls buy from mee. Give that sweet sweet money. I neeed it soooo bad ~USA
Sounds like the Defense Industry doesn’t want anybody upsetting the apple cart.
I wonder if these powerful businesses could come up with a solution? 🤔
Well … We want you to put the orange turd in jail and quit being dicks to everybody. You can’t always get what you want, can you?
Yea, we know that american interests wants that. European (allies?) are, understandably, not comfortable with that though.
EU not purchasing weapons from America; that’s shocking! Anyway.
