It looks like the Russians got their jet design from the British, and their atom bomb from America. There has been a lot of that.
Lyndon Johnson authorized the sale of precision miniature ball bearing grinding machines to Russia, and the resulting improvement in their ICBM targeting cost us billions to harden our silos.
Jimmy Carter authorized the sale of precision machine tools for making submarine propellers. That cost us billions to regain the ability to track the quieter Russian Subs.
I am sure there are more examples.

Don't forget Clinton with Loral Executives selling navigation/guidance technology to China which we are starting to pay the price for now.

Lyndon Johnson authorized the sale of precision miniature ball bearing grinding machines to Russia...I thought that was Richard Nixon. Brandt grinders, 1972.
Jimmy Carter authorized the sale of precision machine tools for making submarine propellers...
Not that I have any interest in defending the Peanut Farmer, but my recollection is that Toshiba did that on their own.
