Well put
None of this is in any way disparaging to our forces because in most area's of conflict from what I read and from people who have been there we do punch well above our weight and have an excellent rapport with foreign citizens in those area's

But our defense purchases appear to be totally linked to the defense of USA interests, we do always have a political reason to be their friend and support them but not at the cost that we currently practice

We have been running a trade deficit with the USA for decades and if we apply Trump logic to this we ought to be imposing import tariffs on some of these imports.
