  • Firstly: Why does the US have a say in that?

    Due to integral parts of the aircraft coming from the US. As stated, the engine is from General Electric, giving the US a lever to block the sale. This is quite common, especially for engines, which are very expensive to develop, and as long as everybody get’s along, that’s no problem.

    That also was a problem for the Russians in their civil aviation when western companies left the market. Even new Russian airplanes had so many parts from America/Europe that they had to first be “Russianised”.

    In our case here it clearly shows the urgent need again to decouple from the US as fast as possible. Especially in defense, all key parts should be from Europe.

    Secondly: Separation from the US new imperialistic ambitions starts at the personal level. Use Deepl instead of Google for translations. The quality is better as well.

    Absolutely true!



  • Not if there is a proper sharing agreement in place before that, something similar to Airbus or so.

    Very true! Airbus is a European public company, seated in the Netherlands and controlled by multiple European governments (FR, DE, ES) who together control a blocking minority.

    This is exactly what would have to happen to French nuclear weapons, turning them into European nuclear weapons instead.

    does not have an agenda of undermining the state and international relations

    We relied on that not changing before. We mustn’t do it again.










  • Ob Brexit, Trump, oder eben unsere Nasen vom populistischen Rand hier: am Ende kann man zwar alles wählen, was man möchte, muss dann allerdings auch die Konsequenzen tragen. Dieser zweite Teil sorgt jedoch irgendwie regelmäßig für Erstaunen, wenn dann doch “vollkommen überraschend” die Leoparden das eigene Gesicht fressen.

    Insofern ja, wir als Land verdienen das leider und werden offenbar auch noch mal die Lektion lernen müssen.
