Yeah. Shame on Toshiba for supporting American industry when AMERICA refused to.

Pardon my ignorance, but does "supporting American industry" include selling American submarine propeller technology to the Soviets (who, just as a reminder, butchered many more people than Hitler)?

FWIW, knock yourself out...

What Toshiba sold the Soviet Union was the multi-dimensional industrial lathes that were necessary for machining the quiet propellers. They weren’t selling them the propellers. Admittedly that was bad, but they were punished for it.
