[quote=Anonymous]Europe will re-arm without US equipment and weapon systems. Their needs will be different vs what the US wants to produce. Also the US does not have the capacity. Right now it is a 2-3 year wait for ATACMS and they are dependent on US software updates/satellite guidance. The F-35 is done. It’s 100 million now without Europe it will go north of 300 million per.

Europe plus South Korea and Japan will be able get their defense industries scaled up in 2-3 years. It will take 3-5 years to build up their military. Looks like Europe will be spending around 900 billion per year by themselves while the US will be under 450 million. Europe will buy the US systems until they can make their own. Airbus will love the business.

Though first Poland, Romania, Germany, Sweden, Finland and Ukraine will go nuclear. Sweden and Finland could do it(a deliverable nuclear weapon system) in weeks. Poland and Romania 6-9 months. Germany just needs the fuel and Ukraine has all the former Soviet aerospace and nuclear engineers plus a fuel supply. Bet they work together.

One thing the article does not talk about is Asia. Look for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia to join the Europeans and not buy American. Let’s not forget Canada.[/quote]
