  2. Macron only wants an EU army, so French weapons manufacturing would have a competitive edge over American manufacturers in such a system.

  3. Politicians care about American jobs. Shareholders do not. If manufacturers can make money through licensing or building in foreign countries, then they will. However, congressmen will protect the weapon factories in their district from loosing to foreign suppliers.

  13. That isn't dissimilar to the US where Congress continues to argue whose district or state that weapon manufacturers are going to build their factories in. Just look at how Biden moved the new Space Force headquarters from a Republican state to a Democrat state.

  15. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene are America's version of Viktor Orbán. The difference is that they don't get to veto American policies that oppose authoritarianism.
