State loans can’t simply constitute any hidden capitalization, otherwise there are no free-market (hence the malus on the 20M$ Import price).

The “free market” when it comes to the parties involved, especially Boeing, doesn’t exist. It doesn’t exist for any of them. Its all a wishy washy half assed corporate state crony racket.

Why Ex-Im Really Is Boeing’s Bank.

Its a total racket for all of them. Boeing, the behemoth of the industry, with the addition of its military industrial gravy train division, and its own government garanteed bank, is 200% in the wrong here. Sure technically Bombardier bent the rules. But everyone does. It was nothing out of the ordinary.

Boeing is bully. And a hypocrite. Full stop.

Boeing has taken no action against Embraer which makes the E195.

Maybe that is because Embraer is not selling E195s cheaper than it cost to build them.

They all do when they release new products.

But the US is just doing this to set the precedent now. They are worried about Chinese and Russian wide bodies in the future. Not sure why they would worry about Canada and Russia. They just want to compliment the industry with some niche products.

China should be treated separatly. They are rank mercantalists who would flood the world with jets just because.

Size does matter and so does range and speed whenever anyone talks about weapons. It seems that there is a great deal of confusion which perpetuates itself in regards to a relatively small Russian military contingent in Syria. The most popular indicator of this confusion is a never ending discussion of a possible American attack on the Russian forces in Syria, primarily on the air base Khmeimim. Can such an attack, once one considers the size of forces US can deploy against Russians, succeed in “defeating” them?

This is both a legitimate but also a highly unprofessional question. In fact, there are many people of prominence in the US who apart from considering such a terrifying scenario are actually pushing for it. Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters doesn’t mince words when it comes to attacking Russians; in fact, he is a very straight to the point guy when giving prescriptions on how to fight those Russians: This could spin out of control very, very fast. If it does, we have to win rapidly and decisively — and keep it within Syria…..

……If the Russian contingent in Syria had been deployed there say in 2005, there would have been no problem in imagining Ralph Peters’ scenario. But it is not 2005 and an 800 pound gorilla, which many continue to ignore, in the room is Russia’s stand-off capability—it is simply much better than the American one and it opens an operational door, in case of a hypothetical conventional attack on Kheimim, for a massive retaliation against any US asset in the region.

Yesterday, in the wake of the death of Lieutenant General Asapov in Syria, allegedly with some “help” from the so called Coalition in the vicinity of the liberated Deir-ez-Zor, Russia’s strategic aviation launched long-range stealthy X-101 cruise missiles at ISIS targets in Syria. There is nothing new now in Russia’s using 5,500+ kilometer range cruise missile, nor is there news any more for the Russian Navy being able to launch 2,500+ kilometer range 3M14 of Kalibr family from anywhere in the Eastern Mediterranean or the Caspian Sea. These are ranges which are simply beyond the reach of any stand-off weapon in US arsenal with Tomahawk TLAM-A Block II having the maximum range of around 2,500 kilometers while TLAM Block IV, currently being most produced variety, having the range of 1,600 kilometers.

With zero collaboration from Chinese airforce and zero international partnership, I dont think theres a chance of getting it in production. That’s a double whammy. Plus there will be competition from TFX, Pak Fa and the UAE/Russia tentative agreement.

And there’s always a chance that Russia won’t want to sell engines for something that is cutting into their business.

@FBW

Again, you really have to suspend belief to buy this garbage. This type of propaganda is aimed at those who want to believe US-ISIS collusion so much that even when the evidence released contradicts that premise, some buy it wholeheartedly.

No not at all. US has always played footsie with the Gulfs proxy armies. Look at Afghanistan in the 80’s and even Bosnia in the 90’s. Why the hell would this be any different ?

Russia loses more face than it gains with reporting this. How is it in their favor that one of their commanders got killed ? It ups the ante for them and it plays badly at home inside Russia. Russians will want revenge. And the Russian leadership is not big on revenge. (See su 24 shoot down and ambassador assassination)

Russia is telling the world this, because they just want the truth out there. Because it will come in handy if they are forced to retaliate.

@Kenneth

Lol well.. Its a socialist govt. They wont like the capitalist idea of selling ad space on their jets.
