Why are we putting up with this crap? They can keep their SAFE, Eurofighter, F-16/35.
It's time to make a clean break and turn to countries that really deliver, while doing our own thing. Once we've reached a certain level of technological maturity, these countries will come crawling back to us.
Sure we can do that, if we are living in a fantasy world.
Take a look at how much of our exports go to those countries that you want to break things with, how much money we make from their countries, how many agreements we have with them, how many components we still use from them in our military industry. Then, take a look at what kind of economical sanctions Russia is under what kind of an effect it had on their economy. Check out Iran or North Korea as well, who can only trade with China or Russia properly.
And which countries are those that deliver, exactly? Russia? The one country that would love to fuck us over in every which way if they could? The one that would've already done so during CCCP era, if we weren't in NATO? China who hates Muslims and practically enslaves all of their debtors? India who hates Muslims and already works against us because of our ties to Pakistan? Countries that are combined still smaller economical markets than the ones you want to break away from, that barely trade with us?
If short-sightedness was an Olympic event, our country would take the gold every single time.
