President Jo Jo Biden can ink a multi-billion deal with Canada selling more John Deere construction equipment?
After all Justin Trudeau's Chinese overlords will want their oil.
They still make M2 .50's.
Shouldn't a country the size of Poland be making its own heavy machine guns?
That's quite the wishlist. Top of the line Abrams. And/but the IED jammer systems don't make much sense unless you are driving into Russia!
That ought to rustle Putin's jimmies quite a bit. interesting story to get published right now. So many agendas operating at cross purposes right now. Not least of all the foul media.

DEUCE,
