    Should the US’s “allies” buy this? Trump said today’s allies may be tomorrow’s enemies.

    They may have no choice if they want the best aircraft - but does it make sense to buy the best from the US?

      1. I see what they did there. Look for it to be renamed by the next D administration. Or scrapped, of course.

        That's why you listen to primary sources. Trump stated that the full capabilities of the the F-47 would probably not be available to our allies.

            Trump:

            “Certain Allies we’ll be selling them perhaps toned down versions… We like to tone them down about 10 percent, which probably makes sense because someday maybe they’re not our allies, right?”

              Not surprised. I doubt we ever export “full capabilities” of our latest and greatest military tech. More likely than not, any country that exports military technology will likely keep something secret just for itself.

                5D chess sometimes involves saying the quiet part out loud.

                  I don’t know enough about military procurement to have an opinion if potential buyers have alternatives to American arms.

                  I’m just saying - this ain’t a great sales pitch.

                  Some Canadians actually think Trump might invade them. Obviously I don’t think that’d happen - but the politics of buy American ain’t great right now. And these countries are going to be buying more equipment soon

                    We've all played the guy who shouts out 'CHECK' in the middle of a game. It's actually quite funny.

                                    5D chess sometimes involves saying the quiet part out loud.

                                      So, just to Russia?

                                      You know, the Brits used to be world leaders in aviation.

                                      What happened?

                                      All their brightest people went to live in America

                                      So why did you move here?
