    Donald Trump has turned the US into an unreliable partner. For that reason, Europeans now buy European weapons.

    The result? US Ambassador to the EU Andres Puzder is complaining that Europe will no longer buy weapons from the country which wants to invade Greenland.

    Remind me again: How many French Dassault Rafale fighter jets or Swedish Gripen Jets have the US Air Force bought?

    U.S. Ambassador to the EU
    @USAmbEU
    The United States opposes any efforts to incorporate European preference in the EU Defense Procurement Directive. We fully support European rearmament and a revitalization of the European defense industrial base. However, European preference in the Directive would undermine member state flexibility to make national procurement purchases, hinder European rearmament efforts, create barriers for Allies reaching NATO capability targets, and run counter to European commitments in the 2025 U.S.-EU Joint Statement on trade and Reciprocal Defense Procurement Agreements.

            @randahl Yeah, they conveniently failed to allow the massive profits from selling arms to Europe as being why they then paid more into NATO... They want their cake and eat it...

              @randahl is there a figure somewhere for US armed forces purchases of European hardware? Ecosia completely fails me on this and just shows the reverse...

                @randahl General Dynamics trying to sell Ajax Armoured Fighting Vehicle to British Army. Yes, it is built in Wales (UK), but the (all important) profits are exported from the UK subsiduary to Head Office in Virginia USA. The vehicle has proved to be poorly-designed causing nausea & injury to occupants. Lazy and incompetent procurement processes in UK going back a decade need to be reversed.

                  Also cold boot time:
                  Gripen: 1.5 minutes
                  F-35: 16 minutes (assuming it boots at all).

                  USA has a cheek insisting people buy USA weapons. They have done that in the past with Aid.

                    The USA did buy Hawker Harriers for their navy.

                    Can't think of anything else. However at the time those were unique. Mad the UK retired them without a replacement while USA was still using them.
