I wonder how pissing off US defence contractors will go for Trump & co. I certainly wouldn’t want to poke that bear.
I’m guessing the trillion dollar defense budget will have a calming effect on them.
I imagine the corporations don’t make those sales directly, they go through the government. The budget isnt just buying the air craft, theyre developing it, which means the design is technically government property.
That means less cash flow in, reduced RoI, and ultimately smalled budgets
Perhaps, but greedy people who are willing to make weapons that kill children will definitely at least be annoyed that they’re losing billions internationally. They’re greedy corporations, after all.

Caralho!

Member the conspiracy theory that the US military industrial complex merc’d JFK because he was a threat to war, and war is business?
trump is costing wealthy people billions of dollars with his bullshit now
And yet Trump lives. I guess that proves the theory wrong.
I’ve never been so disappointed to have a conspiracy disproved.
The cold war took a while to end and people saw it coming.
If you had asked about f35 sales two months ago, no one in the industry would have predicted this shit
Give 'em a few months. Gotta find the right patsy afterall
This is the kind of situation in which we win whatever the result.
Billionaires losing billions is a great thing.
But billionaires “solving” their losses issue is certainly enticing.
There’s a third way where we still lose.
Billionaires losing billions of foreign government investment lobby to have their losses made up by domestic government investment with funds derived from cuts to social services.
