Macron, who has been calling for years to direct defense spending toward EU products, said he wants to convince other European countries that are currently “buying American” to shift to local options.

I really want to, but it’s super difficult and prohibitively expensive here in the cesspit that is America.

What? You can’t buy a Rafale 4.5th gen fighter jet at your local Walmart?

Only if I sign up for Walmart+ 😥. Regular customers can only buy Boeing.

You got me. A 4th gen would do the trick too

Macron should stop saying it himself and at the very least pay one of the other leaders to say it. Everyone knows France has a huge interest in that market and every time Macron says stuff like this he sounds like Stan from Monkey Island.

That said, I am 100% with him, also because both Germany and Italy also have a growing interest in making this happen.
