    Seems like a bad deal from everything I’ve read. A very one sided deal too AFAICT. Mayyybe for the geopolitical reason of “we need to treat our big bully ally well or they won’t support us” but TBH I wouldn’t trust Trump helping as far as I can throw his fat orange arse.

      Fair enough.

      Everyone needs to develop their own opinions. For my own part I know enough about international arms deals to know that I don’t know enough about international arms deals to determine whether they’re one sided.

      I do know that the rare earths deal we got out of Trump is a golden goose that’s going to keep laying eggs for many decades.

      I don’t have any trust of Trump either but he will be long dead before we get a sub.
