The United States has just nuked its own arms export business. Not with a missile. With a phone call. Pete Hegseth rang Estonia’s defense minister and told him the HIMARS and Javelin deliveries are on hold. Indefinitely. Months, not weeks. No timeline. No alternative. Just: sorry, we’re busy bombing Iran. And that’s it. Twenty years of patient alliance-building, vaporized in a Monday morning call. Here’s what European defense planners now know for certain: American weapons come with an asterisk. The asterisk reads “subject to cancellation whenever Washington decides its own adventure takes priority.” You can sign the contracts. You can train your soldiers. You can build your entire defensive posture around US systems. And then one day, the ammo stops. No warning. No plan B. Estonia is already shopping elsewhere. So is everyone else, with the kind of focus that only comes from genuine betrayal. The Americans think this is a pause. Europe knows it’s a divorce.

Too much talking euro-boy. The reason why we are in trouble is because US heavily outproduces us. We can't replace these system fast, only Americans can. And the reason why we're not getting them is because everyone wants them. Taiwan, Kosovo. Ukraine...so your attitude does not impact their industry or our ability. Brussels talk a lot, but produces little.

@Libertarec @Microinteracti1 Retardtarec, I want to make sense of what you're talking about but still...
