It’s coming!
I miss President Trump.
Why are Raytheon and Lockheed doing business with the biggest mass murdered in human history, Communist China, America’s most sworn enemy?
Selling missiles, Nav systems, F-35s?
This begs the question of what the hell out defense giants are selling to America’s enemy.
It’s been going on since Clinton department of commerce forced those companies to use Long March to launch satellites after shuttle accident. First one failed so directions were to help them do it right. Here we are.
And many thanks to Loral Corp, too.
Also a question of where the rare earths needed for modern military gear have been coming from. Lloyd Austin is supposed to be ensuring non-China supply, perhaps this happens on the same timeframe of securing EU energy “independence” from Russia.
Exactly, and the president that gave them cover to do the
things they did.
You’re excited about it?
Weirdo.

“ Why are Raytheon and Lockheed doing business with the biggest mass murdered in human history, Communist China, America’s most sworn enemy?”
That’s a fair question.

NO, there is some commercial aviation sales, that it.
China is tick tocked because of this:
Sales to Taiwan
11 Lockheed High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), for an estimated cost of $436.1 million
135 Boeing AGM-84H Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) Missiles for an estimated $1.01 billion.
Six Collins Aerospace MS-110 Recce external sensor pods, for an estimated cost of $367.2 million. Collins is a division of Raytheon.
*****The package may have spurred extra hostility from China because the HIMARS reportedly will include the M57 missile, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away.**** That’s enough to reach the east coast of China that’s directly opposite Taiwan, according to Defense News.
More weapon approvals for Taiwan are expected. Late Monday, the State Department notified Congress that it has approved a $2.37 billion sale for up to 100 Harpoon Coastal Defense Systems, which includes 400 Boeing RGM-84L-4 Harpoon Block II missiles.
Also sold under the Third Way Principles by Clinton to China were US naval operations, silent sub prop tech, miniature klystron switches (enables thermonuclear warhead to be reduce from tons to pounds), among a host of other once US secret tech.
Bottom line. Commercial aviation Is rife with tech. And our biggest defense contractors do all kinds of business with communist red China which is probably 15 times the Russian threat. The companies always employ large numbers of Chinese to win contracts and they are all high risks for technology spying.
“Commercial aviation Is rife with tech.”
Sure we should have strict export controls for NatSec areas, but those have waned since the Cold War.
The weaponry that sells to Taiwan, however, has gone up the tech scale...our best radar, our best long range precision fires that can for the first time hit China from Taiwan.
