In my opinion selling them top of the line stuff is the height of
stupidity. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what the

What makes you think the Europeans don't want the next problem for the
US to be as bad as possible? They have no hope of exceeding the US
unless a full-scale war devastates the US. The fact that it helps
communists is a happy coincidence.
