Well, you know, free market etc.

  And yet, the US won't sell Iran nukes or China F-22s. The world we live in is far from free market, for everything from solar panels to textiles [0]. A really obvious place in which one might actually want the opposite of a free market is in military tech. Exporting the tech behind a computer that'll presumably be used for mostly military purposes is something that could be expected to be frowned upon in certain circumstances.

    > And yet, the US won't sell Iran nukes or China F-22s. But still be the main sponsor of various terrorist organizations. However, that's a different story. The thing that is upsetting here though it is that this is about a country with a legit, well-respected government, that is not known for violent anti-Americanism, etc. Oh and the population-wise biggest country in the world, often considered the only competitor to the US. I think that's a big deal.
