The F35 has a lot of problems and it’s expensive. Portugal it’s one of the poorest countries in Europe. Why would they choose an experimental jet that has to have a large support crew who has to maintain it, which is most likely Western Yankee contractors to protect its IP.? When capitalism is all about the lowest common denominator, the lowest bidder would you think that they would want to buy jets from us now.
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.

Sort of true. Doesn’t sound like there’s a government able to make such decisions at the moment.
But there’s a quote without citations so it must be Internet true.
Portuguese are too broke to buy anything at all at this point
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.
Caralho!
Chupem! 😂
