See, this is one of the major points of this tariff idiocy that I’m baffled by (unless, of course, it’s as simple as “Putin told him to”): we’re wrecking the economy of scale of our own military industrial complex.

The fact that we’ve pissed EVERYONE off enough that many allies are passing on that hardware is kind of a big fucking deal.
