How about EU countries going for EU suppliers when it actually matters ?
France has a point, in a potential UK Farage administration, we could see US, UK and neo-USSR as the new tripartite pact and EU would have helped finance its own subjugation.
- This is fair but what if the AfD gains power in Germany or National rally gets in in France? Should we mitigate against these possibilities by not letting Germany or France in?
  Obviously that shouldn't happen but that question still looks over. Imo, whilst the UK and Canada aren't part of the EU, they also aren't the US. We should try bring them close and give them some access. Maybe in turn it means they are more likely to buy french or Germany weapons which would be good for everyone
