Subject: Re: Panama buys fighters
Yep. If you're not reliable, sensible people won't rely upon you. If you can't be certain you will get spare parts for your F35s, you're probably not going to buy any. You'll look to the Brits or French for your fighters.

This is going to bite hard. A lot of people work in defense industries, and nations not buying our stuff is going to be very bad for them. Expect layoffs in that sector relatively soon.
