Rubio warned that excluding American firms from European tenders would be viewed negatively by Washington—an implicit criticism of the EU’s proposed procurement rules.
Oh no! If we don’t buy any weapons, they might not want to sell us weapons anymore!
A Nordic diplomat not present at the Baltic meeting confirmed that US officials recently conveyed their concerns, stating that any exclusion from EU arms purchases would be inappropriate.
Yeah, the US has recently done just a few things that “would be inappropriate” as well, so I think we’re on good ethical ground here.
Well the US used to be the primary supplier. Until a month or so ago. Kind of brought it on yourself yeah?
I really hope the EU will just cut the USA wherever possible!
Buy EU products!
We fully support that you want to be independent from us, but you need to buy from us to do it (and still be dependent on us).
Sounds like a an abusive relationship to me
There is still about 100,000 US soldiers stationed all over Europe. It was never about having any sort of equality and mutual respect in that relationship. Previous US administrations just chose to not say this too loudly.
Ignore whatever comes after “US Warns”.
Treat it how we treat “Russia Warns” - this is probably bad for them and they suck.
What are you going to do about it, losers? You’ve lost all sway in the conversation with the shit you’ve pulled. Enjoy the view from your throne of eternal irrelevance that you’ve built for yourself
But maybe Europe simply does not want anymore.
Maybe this monetary “initiative” has been created exactly for this not wanting American weapons anymore.
Put tarrifs on American made weapons entering the EU.
The European sleeping giant must awaken.
This is the funny part US doesn’t stop with the warning, no matter what your action is
