“The one thing that we have to watch is to make sure we don’t see more countries in a similar boat as where we are with China. We’re watching the EU,” Boeing CEO and President Kelly Ortberg said.
Boeing is also a big military contractor. Speculatively, she might be referring to that part of the business primarily.
Well the EU is also trying to move away from US military suppliers since the US has become an unreliable partner. Imagine you buy US planes then Trump wakes up on the wrong side of the pillow one day and forbids export of spare parts for those planes. How you’re just fucked. Better to make your own or go for suppliers from another EU country.
Unfortunately EU being militarily autonomous is gonna take years if not decades ( but at least now we are on the right track )
We have to start one day anyway and I do not want Russian soldiers say „hello” at the houses of people in the EU (even when Ukraine joins) - without at least not having paid a terrible price for it.
That train has left the station.
They can pound sand

Well, for that their only solution is to use their Central America regime change guidebook closer to home, and hope everyone forgets the US’s propensity to elect imperialist assholes.
