Good then dont use our tech and be a few generations behind.

[Atlantic Friend]

Well,

- 1°) the US isn’t the only provider of high-tech goods,
- 2°) US tech isn’t automatically the best either (hence the interest for the current multinational projects,)and
- 3°)in those fields where the US tech is indeed better, not using it anymore will force the competition to bridge the gap.

The move to block the Eurofighter sale sounds more like a turf war than a call for responsible arms deals.

"Good then dont use our tech and be a few generations behind."

Not true any longer, we (the usa) have exported most of our tech, and most of our manufacturing. The Euros (plus the Japanese and soon Chinese) are just as capable as us.
