Yes, but if the Germans are stupid for making a trial buy of Trophy systems, so are we.

Also, Kissenger has proven to be a disastrous idiot - name one thing he did that worked. China turned out to be a knife in our back.

Disagree.
Nixon/Kissenger China was a good move.
The old cliche is’Nothing more dangerous than one with nothing to lose.
Did it help advance China, yes; no question.
But China did not ramp up for another 15-20 years if you accept the numbers out of China.

China holds a knife, alright.
But it took many years to acquire.
