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.
“No, we don’t like that. We insist that you do not.”
“Art of ze deal, non?”
There is nobody more entitled on this planet than the Orange man and his followers.
“Here’s a tariff! Fuck you!”
We don’t trust you anymore. We won’t buy from you
“Noooo, but you must!”
Fuck 'em.
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!
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.
This sounds like it came from the same guy who wanted to sue companies for not advertising on twitter
Maybe they should object to the reasons that made us buying European in the first place.
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? 🤔
Plsplspls buy from mee. Give that sweet sweet money. I neeed it soooo bad ~USA
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?
EU not purchasing weapons from America; that’s shocking! Anyway.
