Well... I feel we got screwed twice !
- lvs 5y agoDoes a NATO county selling weapons to a NATO strategic adversary not seem mildly questionable on its own?
- wonnage 5y agoThey're just not thinking big enough, the US has been creating its own strategic adversaries by selling weapons to terrorists and regretting it 20 years later for decades
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoThese ships are not a real problem. The credible part of Russian navy is nuclear submarines. Russian surface navy is not, and won't be a threat to Nato, with or without them. There isn't really a country theatened by Russia where sea is a relevant theater - it's always a land border Pales in comparison with amount of US weapons left in middle east, supplied to Saudi, etc. The diffetence is Russia has some standards, they don't do things like 9/11.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoThe Euro strategy is to make themselves vassals of Russia to appear less threatening. Look at how Germany walked away from nuclear and made themselves dependent on Russian natural gas.
- gdy 5y agoApparently Germany sees Russia a smaller threat than the possibility of a nuclear incident at its aging nuclear plants.
- gdy 5y ago"NATO strategic adversary" That's not what NATO had been telling Russia when expanding into Eastern European and ex-USSR countries.

- throw_m239339 5y ago> trying to sell weapons to Russia, an aggressive total dictatorship, you deserved that one Well USA is selling or has sold weapons to Saudi Arabia, a known democracy respecting human rights/s Weapons used to massacre children in Yemen, I mean let's not claim USA is a paragon of virtue either, when it comes to the business of war.

- throw_m239339 5y ago> To be fair France did it too. Looking at arms deal from rich democracies is a sure way to become really cynical. Whatever, France shouldn't have caved when USA asked them to violate their business contract with Russia and not deliver the ship. USA couldn't care less when they do the exact same thing. Now France looks a fool.
