Lets also not forget the European approach to 30mm DEFA cannon ammunition, Carl Gustav ammo or parts, and 1000lb bombs for the Canberra, all of which were unilaterally turned off during the Vietnam war.
Lest we forget! (And we do seem to have forgotten given our recent order history).
Fair weather friends - once the money is in the bank their demeanor suddenly changes.
The Europeans are not to be trusted ever again. They want the money, but don't have the ethics of an ally.
