PARIS - U.S. arms makers say European demand for fighter jets, missile defenses and other weapons is growing fast amid heightened concerns about Russia and Iran.
Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other top weapons makers said they had seen accelerating demand for U.S. weapons at the biennial air show despite escalating trade tensions between the United States and Europe. Eric Fanning, chief executive of the Aerospace Industries Association, said the NATO pledge and European concerns about Russia were fueling demand. “I do think it reflects the increasing provocations of Russia,” he said.
Edwards said Lockheed’s F-35 stealth fighter, selected by Belgium, is poised to win another new order from Poland, while Bulgaria, Slovakia and Romania are also working to replace Soviet-era equipment. Hooper said the U.S. government was making concerted efforts to speed arms sales approvals and boost sales to help arm allies with U.S. weapons.
We can’t escape the thought that this is, at least in part, caused by the multiplication of threats combined with a lack of confidence that the United States would help if needed. Trump seems inclined to watch Russia rout European countries. Trump’s a coward.
Looks like war is imminent. Taking cues from Trump and Pompeo.
Seems really desperate to sell patriot missiles
First U.S. creates problems, then offers “solution”.
Well that’s good as it takes the pressure off the US
Good for them?

For a more accurate headline, replace “threats” with “corrupt fear-mongering from MSM, politicians, politicos, et al.” 🤷♀️
