  I think Americans generally underestimate the seismic shift that has happened in defence procurement approach during the past few months in Europe. Even if the US recovers from its current situation it will be many years until European nations buys weapon systems from the US in volumes resembling the past. The trust isn't there. It would take a long time to rebuild.

    _If ever_, honestly. Like, France’s traditional US-scepticism on military equipment is looking pretty sensible now.

      Pretty much.
