Just the time to get into a land war in Europe and a sea war in Asia.
- PaulHoule 3y agoIn Europe we get to supply weapons to people who want to fight to fight an enemy that is even less competent than the US on a very bad day. From the viewpoint of arms sales it is win-win-win for the US. People used to say the "S-400 is the best air defense system in the world", I think selling Patriot and NASAMS is easier than it ever was. Is anybody in their right mind ever going to buy one of those T-72 variants with an exploding autoloader?
