Uh, what the fuck did these geniuses think would happen? Repeatedly kick every one of our allies in the balls, and....then what? Things continue just status quo in every other aspect?

Probably one of the top 10 Trump moments so far from the Oval Office “ we are going to make less capable aircraft for our allies. In case they aren’t our allies anymore in the future you never know.”

It’s a national security threat for the EU to buy American arms. All it takes is for a crazy US president to cut their supply when they’re most in need like the US did to Ukraine and they’re in trouble. The EU is right to exclude US arms. Trumps actions have consequences.
You sidelined US companies the moment you enacted tariffs (among other things), you turd.
Uh... too bad?
This sounds like it's Elon Musk talk.. The guy who wanted to sue companies for not advertising on Twitter..
Oh so that was trumps play, he wanted us to specifically buy THEIR weapons to arm ourselves because that helps THEIR economy once again
Of course. That's all their "increase your military spending" whining was about. There are valid reasons to increase military spending but their whining isn't one.
Surprised Pikachu face moment.
What were they expecting? They've clearly showed to the world how quickly they can turn against their allies over nothing. Nobody will want to rely on them for their defense.
boo. fuckin. hoo.

"Warned"? What are you going to do, invade Europe for not buying our weapons? These chucklefucks legit think they own the world.
This is the same US government that's currently complaining it's too difficult to do business in Quebec (a province of a country the US is threatening to invade) because native French speakers insist on speaking French. The US is demanding they use English.

It’s so un-American to not buy weapons from us. Who do these Europeans think they are?
Hey USA you know how the saying goes: "Be careful what you ask for, you might get it."
Now Europe is arming itself like you asked. So kindly fuck off and be happy, that you got what you asked for.
Huh, it's almost like EU powers have seen the problem with having an unpredictable outsider control thier means of defense.
Imagine trying to preflight your fancy F35 and seeing the Tesla, "please wait for update" screen.
That'll probably be on the plane he named after himself, the F-47. Assuming Boeing doesn't just take the taxpayer money for four years and then drop it as soon as the next president gets elected.

Whiny man babies. “I’m gonna punch you in the gut just cause I’m a dick. Why aren’t you still buying my weapons???”

Another "illegal boycott" to them, I'm sure.
LOL.
Until U.S. foreign policy is no longer dictated by the Kremlin, the U.S. can get fucked.
As an American citizen. I support this message.
it's so weird being like "hey foreign invaders. i'll help y'all out. i'm down for bing a canadian province. or maybe the netherlands, france, or spain can reclaim their claims? i'm also down to arm native americans. i'm very flexible. i'm just not okay with this"
Land Back has always been a valid option
and i'm in serious support of it to be clear
That's what happens when your country falls to Nazism. Anything else would be better.
