The funny thing is the defense contractors are going to lose the NATO market. This will drive cost way up. The only country who will “buy” our weapons will be Israel and they really do not buy the weapons. We give the weapons. [/quote]

It was little noticed in the US at the time, but the US and Elon Musk's Starlink turned off all support for US weapons systems in Ukraine during Russia's offensive to retake Kursk. The entire world took notice however. A weapons system - whether HIMARs or F-35s - comes with a forty year tail of support, from software updates to ammo. And the entire planet took note of how capricious Republicans are. Obviously, no nation can be put in a position where they rely on American weapons systems when one of the major parties in the US is so willing to turn off support and let soldiers die when defending their country. Europe, Canada, and Asia are all pivoting to domestic systems now. The European arms industry in particular is absolutely booming right now. I'm sure Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BAE, General Dynamics and so on are absolutely pissed. That is trillions in lost revenue for them.

What weapons are you talking about? I completely disagree but I’m more in a niche weapons field.[/quote][/quote]
