Since MST announced that it "may" get more money from Harmony last year, it seems to me that the US DoD has been sitting up and taking a great deal more notice of the tech, is this because, if metalstorm did get more money from harmony then control of the company could definately belong in Singaporean hands? unlike now! the US Defense Industrial Base, and also the Rank corporations intelligence, both suggested that if MST tech did fall into the wrong hands, then the US may not have anything to counter it?

When metalstorm hit the US years ago, they were going ape droppings about the tech, it was at this time that metalstorm thought wrongly that it would be as simple as selling the IP, but the US is one cagey customer, I believe they tried to sink MST, thinking they would acquire the tech for peanuts,I spoke of this to someone who would know at one of the AGM's, and was told I wasn't far from the mark? all that was until MST actually started building prototypes and proved them, but more importantly they started building alliances with Singapore, I think the latter was a masterstroke by management, I think it forced the US to look seriously at them again, if they didn't want control going elsewhere?
Look at how the Japanese changed the game after the US placed heavy imports on foreign built cars, the Japanese simply played them at their own game, and went to the US and built them there, and beat them at their own game as well, they did it cheaper and better,with the added plus of being able to repatriate their profits back home in over inflated US dollars!
and also sell their US made product to other customers in that part of the world.
The US hasn't really done itself a favour by propping up their own dollar in the long run,knowing full well that it was the accepted standard when it replaced gold, OK they get cheaper fuel, and get to sell their military products at inflated prices, purely because they were the best available at that time,well not always when you think of the crap they sold us with the Seasprites,and we are an ally?? but how things are change?

I think the rest of the world is waking up to the fact that the US has just kept printing more money in the belief that inflation will balance the books, while taking the rest of the world for a ride! yes how quickly things change!
Protectionism isn't going to work any longer, their own residents are feeling the pinch now, and won't be able to sustain their own industry from within, as they have done in the past, I believe the US will need to become much more competitive again, in order to sell more products to the rest of the world, as I said it's own dollar is part of the problem, that along with protectionism!
