To demonstrate military superiority, the US is currently shooting itself in the face

Our military is so powerful that we realized only we could defeat ourselves! From that point forward, we knew we had no choice.

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. Say what you will about the corruption and waste, but we do make a lot of the best hardware out there. The fact that we’ve pissed EVERYONE off enough that many allies are passing on that hardware is kind of a big fucking deal.

Calling it now, the next US administration would trigger a third world war through cloak and dagger shenanigans and then come into the war as a savior maintaining geopolitical hegemony over EU.

Damn leopards look so cool

Thank you for using a picture of an actual rafale.

Isn't there some provision that US military isn't allowed to buy non-American unless it's more than 50% cheaper or impossible to get in the US?
