Based on Trump’s own tactics, if an ally needs something you should blackmail them into accepting a worse deal.
They can “object” all they want – this is a logical consequence of their policies and there is very little they can do about it.
Just there is even less they can do about Europeans and Canadians boycotting American products and services on an increasing scale.
Actions have consequences, morons.
You cant have your cake and eat it, little don don.
When they say “Europe needs to contribute more to NATO” they specifically mean buy more US weapons.
When we increase contributions but spend on Euro weapons they be like “No, no, not like that”
They can shove them in their ass
Also in other news: water is wet.
How about they fuck off?
Idiot in charge did mention providing worse equipment for exports, and EU money securing EU prosperity is on target
It’s almost as if their Dear Leader’s narcissistic sense of entitlement has infected the entire American body politic.
If the trump administration reacts indignantly, we are doing absolutely everything right. Let the current contracts come to fruition, they were already signed beforehand and we, unlike the Americans, stand by our word. But everything we buy from now on should only come from European productions.
Get the canadians on board for a new fighterjet cooperation and lets honor our long lasting friendship with them.
Understandable. The current administration certainly doesn’t want to see these US weapons in the hands of US citizens of all things.
This is how the US has _always_ meant “Europe must spend more on defence” to be taken; what they mean is exclusively that we should spend more money _on American equipment_. They have consistently lobbied against any kind of effort to support European defence industries if it’s to the detriment of the order book of the US MIC. Similarly they consistently lobby against efforts to procure the kinds of enablers like AEW, tankers, SIGINT and ELINT and EWAR that would enable us to operate without their backing.
Yeah, well we object their choices in the elections 🤷
In the future we’ll open an online dictionary. Under archaic acronyms we’ll find “FAFO” and next to it a reference to this.
>« EU should seek strategic autonomy, we are tired of bailing you out »
> EU starts striving for strategic autonomy by developping their own MIC
>« NOOOO!!! Not like that!!! »
#LOL
And EU objects to the US supporting Russia. If they don’t care about us, we don’t care about them.
Considering Trump’s proven willingness to act like gutter scum…..US weapons flat out aren’t safe to buy.
No idea if they will be adulterated or tinkered with. Trump would absolutely have the weapons fucked with if Putin or Musk ordered him to.
I’m an American and I wouldn’t trust US made weapons or ammunition as long as Trump is in power. Not when a Russian invasion of Europe has a significant possibility of happening.
Well, we´re going to buy locally because national security. I´m sure Trump understands.
Object all you want. If you act like retards expect change
Oh dear, how sad, never mind 🙂
Imagine being _this_ dumb.
MAGA cult: “You need to buy more you pathetic freeloaders!”
Europe: “ok”
MAGA cult: “noooooo, not like that!!! >:o”
The big game plan not going to plan. Numpties be frustrated I bet 😂
Put trade tarifs on everyone, pressuring countries to only buy american weapons. Morons
Oh, they object?
FUCK OFF!
Sincerely,
Europe

By all means yes, lets include Americans too. Apart from cost, we should also consider manufacturing sites, spare parts manufacturing logistics, software updates, training requirements, etc.
No ”DEI” purchases, every aspect and long-term operability must be based on their merits alone. Lets see how well that works out for US.
Trump f-ing said that he would sell Europe substandard weapons because the U.S. may want to fight them one day. Why would they buy compromised American shit? Even if he gets some compliance in the short term, he has fucked these relationships for a long time.
This is f hilarious, so the US is complaining and borderline pleading Europe to not buy locally and keep buying US made weapons? Haha didn’t they wanted to leave NATO? Didn’t the vice president insulted Europe and called us a non democracy? Didn’t the US backstabbed Ukraine by going around them and trying to make a deal with Russia without them on the table? Didn’t the US threaten Denmark with military action if they don’t give up Greenland? Didn’t the US impose 25% tariffs on all European products? Didn’t the US insulted France by saying they’ll be speaking German?
It’s f hilarious how all this is playing out and I hope all these European politicians come together and stop buying American weapons and start producing locally. Too bad is too late for some of them to cancel that shitty F35 jet orders but they could sell them back or take them apart and use them for a new jet hell I’ll go as far as selling them to the Chinese for all we care and see how the US likes to get backstabbed, f hypocrites.
I guess the EU doesn’t let you grab it by the pussy…
– We demand you spend a lot more on weapons!
– Ok
– Wait, not like that!!!
I LOL’ed. :))
