Humanity can go so much further if it wasn’t for our petty infighting. So many wasted resources.

That’s a false dilemma. Historically birth rates fall fastest through prosperity and education, not war deaths. Besides, war-driven death tolls only dent the growth rate temporarily and get overcompensated by a subsequent boom.
Tech does advance during wars, but that doesn’t mean war is required for advancement. Enormous tech progress also happens in peacetime. Advances don’t require war.
It’s a false dichotomy.
And it’s also a broken window fallacy.
The world isn’t overpopulated, the world is overgreeded
Nice!
Take everything away from the USA, as much as possible.
Let them know, that you can’t rule like you own the world.
Let’s see it fail like FCAS. Or maybe this time it’ll go more smoothly, as there are less diverging demands on what the missile is supposed to be capable of.
It is actually set up pretty well. As in clear roles for all companies involved and the companies have a history of international cooperation. Airbus and MBDA are multinational companies already.
Deosn’t matter. France is involved so the project will in the end a) need to be produced in France by France to French specifications exclusively or b) be killed by France only to turn around and develop something alone that meets exactly the specifications they rejected when it was a common project. And thus we get -again- two parallel developments, delayed by a decades of course, and a low of French -again- crying about those stupid Europeans not understanding French genius.
Ehhh, we already have a couple of multinational cooperation systems for missiles, like MBDA. And they’re actually making and selling things, unlike certain aircraft program
