The easiest way to make money on the market is volatility and predictability. Seeing as how Trump is so easily manipulatable and has no filter and his stupid declarations have such massive effects on the market, I wouldn't be surprised if someone is seeding him shit just to play the markets

This has almost always been true, we just don't say it out loud. Our top military tech has a "home" version and an "export" version.

Every country does that when exporting military tech.

I imagine that countries that have purchased jets from the US have some of their own equipment they install post sale that the US does not officially know about.

The US does servicing on their jets so unlikely.

Europe already has decided not to buy weapons from the US. Making great deals there Trump!

The strategy is to turn all of americas allies against it and become subservient to putin

And when the USM has no friends left we'll all know whose fault that is.

I assume Saab is greatly appreciating their new salesman.
