>There were a number of occasions in the 50s to 70s when the US stepped in directly to neuter world-leading aerospace projects in the UK, forcing the UK to buy from the US instead.
Exactly, and with the recent moves Trump administration is directly calling out EU to arm - so a good development in my book.
It’s weirder than this though. Why would Europe need to rearm? If it’s to defend against potential enemies, why is the US cosying up with those same countries?
