lol. true but at the same time look at it from americas point of view. aviation is a milatary threat. they need to have an in house team to own that shit. Putin is going to be screwed because he has no aviation industry compared to the EU and US.
Commercial aviation isn't, though. And Bombardier is a neighbour and ally.
And ... Putin has a significant aviation industry. For a while they were the only country able to launch humans into space. And as far as I know, they're flying MiGs in Ukraine.
But my comment was really intended to say that the "freedom" we are supposedly entitled to is actually a gift, with limits, and there are few better ways to discover those limits than to threaten a very large company.
