So, nearly everyone in "the west" ?
Yeah. I love to see them sitting on our laps and tell ‘em, tables have turned now but it doesn’t work that way. You need to be richer, disciplined and stabilized to dictate the terms.

Exporting defence to west should be limited and just enough to use for PR. Exporting for a few 100 million is peanuts and doesn't really benefit our country in the long run. I think an arms deal should include commercial deal too. So if they import for 100 million. Missiles and such, they should import consumer products for 100 million too.

Only direct benefit we offer is shorter lead times on munitions and drone tech. All the rest is stuff they can make themselves or buy from many other interested sellers. We simply do not have such a luxury to reject a business proposal.
