You forgot to mention the difference in maintenance costs. The F-35 is the most expensive fighter jet not only to acquire but also to maintain. It's a money pit. It's beautiful and 6th gen and all that's grand. But it's not good enough to justify the difference in prices.

Both are cheaper than F35... Do you have an access to the internet? The reason people were buying US planes is they thought the US walked the talk. They clearly don't, so they won't sell those anymore.

That wasn't Italy that was something else Altogether but in the geographic area of italy, the real Italy we all know and love began in the 18th century as an effect of Napoleon's conquest then loss. Before that it was an geographic amalgation of principalities and kingdoms. All different currencies, armies, borders etc.

There are indeed systems in place but Elon isn't covered since he has at least dual citizenship. Many countries, and first world countries at that, have citizenship revocation a possible outcome.

Canada can do whatever it wants with it's citizens, just like the US can deport their own citizens to Guantanamo or Salvador so they can not be protected by their constitutional rights.

It's called sovereignty.

This but economy 101. Why waste military hardware when the most precious thing the US has economically is their high tech sector. Let's tank it for the Lulz.

The most triggering for Trump would be to ignore the gulf of America thingy... Keep calling the gulf of Mexico., the gulf of Mexico.

It's the US that are surrendering, not Ukraine nor Europe. This is a defeat for the US, I don't see other countries that could be qualified as being defeated. Russia not yet but we're getting there. With or without the US.

True: they could get decent income in a weapons factory.

Production isn't were it's supposed to be because there hasn't yet been enough time to build more production capacity hardware (factories, specialist workers, logistical systems etc...). It's unfortunate right now, the US has already all that. But it's the big push before the end of the line for any US made weapon systems in the EU. Too dangerous to have an Ally of Russia as a supplier who can cut you out of the usage of what he sold you at the most critical time.

Pretty sure US weapons sales in EU countriea are coming to a predictable end...

Strange way for the US to concede their defeat. (One more!) But to each their own.
