It's not the trade war, but the fact US administration is run by Russian assets.

E.g. it's pure coincidence that few months into Trump's rule, Russia suddenly can overcome Patriot systems.

Basically US industry is compromised and nobody with brain cells is going to buy American weapons any time soon.

I saw this too. America pretty much selling, giving away their near-deprecated toys.

> the fact US administration is run by Russian assets.

   fact
   noun [ C or U ]

   UK /fækt/
   US /fækt/

   something that is known to have happened or to exist,
   especially something for which proof exists, or about
   which there is information


Could you provide the proof for the current US administration being staffed by Russian assets? By proof I do not mean '...as seen on TV...' or '...as written in The Guardian...' or '...as said on MSBNC...' but proof:

   proof
   noun

   UK /pruːf/
   US /pruːf/

   proof noun (SHOWING TRUTH)
   a fact or piece of information that shows that something
   exists or is true
If you can not produce such proof - which would be odd given that you proclaimed this to be a fact - I suggest you refrain from using such inflammatory terminology to keep the discourse from erupting into even more partisan hackery.

    You’re demanding a sealed dossier, which is an absurd standard for public discourse. The ‘proof’ is in the public record of actions and consequences.

    An administration acting as an asset would:

    - Dismantle alliances (undermining military cooperation, trade disputes, questioning mutual defence).

    - Give concessions without return (walking away from long-negotiated agreements, reducing deployments unilaterally).

    - Sideline national security and intelligence professionals who oppose the adversary’s interests.

    - Stoke domestic instability that distracts and weakens national unity.

    When these patterns converge, you don’t need classified files to hear the smoke alarm. My point stands: U.S. weapons are a hard sell when its own foreign policy works against its strategic interests.

    Btw. Your command of English is very good, comrade.

Perhaps Ukraine's military is not as good at keeping secrecy as the US would be against Russia.

Maybe we don't need to invent entire international conspiracy theories to explain something this basic.

Weapon systems have a shelf life. The longer they're deployed in the field the shorter that life is.
