My concerns are based on the actions of France in the past and present in defense contracts. Israel had a contract with Dassault, but that contract went to blazes when France disagreed with Israel's military actions. The governments of France and Germany hold the majority of the state-held shares of EADS - they are the puppet masters.

Remember, their interests and ours are not the same. They take bribes from dictators while we try to uproot them. Imagine going into Iraq with EADS aircraft in 2003. I doubt that Chirac and Schroeder would not have tried to cut-off parts and other components so as to shape events to their liking.

I doubt they would have. They had the chance, because the US military does contract with French and German companies, and they didn't disrupt any supply chain, as far as I know.

DHL is one of the main logistics companies for the US Military, and they are owned by the German Gov't.
