U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers’ participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Maffia. All of them.
Let’s ditch the American weapons.
They say this after taunting Germany last month on a visit in Munich where they basically said you‘d have to have military power to be sovereign.
Yea, we know that american interests wants that. European (allies?) are, understandably, not comfortable with that though.
According to two of the sources, Rubio said any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington,
Ah ah ah ! “Would be seen negatively”… Ah ah ah !
We want Greenland. We think you are all worthless freeloaders. We wish to kill your businesses with tariffs because you dared to sell us things (and we don’t care how bad that will be for our people. My voters are too stupid and brainwashed to care and the opposition doesn’t matter)… Also buy our weapons!
Have they thanked us for buying their weapons yet…
And I don’t think they were wearing the right suits …
🖕
MAGA: AMERICA FIRST!
Rest of world: OK, I guess we need to put ourselves first, too.
MAGA: NOT LIKE THAT!
I’m shocked.
This sounds like it came from the same guy who wanted to sue companies for not advertising on twitter
EU not purchasing weapons from America; that’s shocking! Anyway.
Well … We want you to put the orange turd in jail and quit being dicks to everybody. You can’t always get what you want, can you?
Wah
What till Americans figure out where high quality small arms come from. Glock anyone? Beretta, Heckler & Koch, Benelli, Browning Arms Company (yes, Browning), SIG Sauer, Springfield Armory, Taurus (some), Chiappa, and more. And don’t forget our Filipino friends at Rock Island Armory!
Sadly, this part of the tariff shitshow may actually work since we already have plenty of quality domestic producers. But fuck me, the SIG Sauer is the standard US military sidearm and Glock is standard everywhere else. Have fun cop budgets!
I … can’t imagine the US government cares about that (excuse the pun) caliber of gun too much. Police guns will largely be paid for from municipal and state budgets rather than the federal budget, and there’s something larger at stake:
- Large US producers want to make profits, and I can’t imagine that small, extremely commoditized weapons are the best option for that.
- The US government would probably like gain more control over the EU. If the US were to attack Greenland, they’d probably be happier if EU nations were immobilized because [shenanigans].
I may be wrong.
