In previously unreported remarks, the U.S. administration warned Brussels that it will retaliate if Europeans “strong-arm American companies out of the market.”
Europe needs to continue to develop and patronize their own weapons systems. They have the second best gear on the planet to be sure, only behind the US because of the massive spending we do.
They don’t need the US for security, as is. They are going to fall to far right parties like dominoes though, which will with the help of the US and Russia try to fix themselves in power, and given the rot in our established parties and bureaucracies I wouldn’t assume they won’t succeed.
So while Europe needs to make and buy their own systems, that they don’t need to worry about the US sending the signal for the kill switch to brick them in a show down, they also need to offer some popular reform to voters, because as is, they will fall. France, the UK is already fucked under the supposed better party. The rest will follow, but France is important because of the Nukes, the UK too but they are a lost cause, and will side with the US if push comes to shove.
