US sells more fighter jets in Europe
Washington said the arms deal with Bulgaria will bolster NATO forces in the Black Sea region
The United States has authorized a major war plane sale to Bulgaria worth more than $1.6 billion, agreeing to transfer several F-16s to the Eastern European nation in an effort to modernize its military.
The State Department approved the deal on Monday. In addition to eight F-16 fighter jets, it also includes a range of missiles, sensors and replacement parts, coming to a total of $1.67 billion, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe,” the agency said, adding that it would allow the Bulgarian Air Force to “deploy modern fighter aircraft routinely in the Black Sea region.”

A profitable war. Nord Stream closed, plenty of weapons sales - and no American dead.
I dare say that the expansion of Russian territory will vastly outweigh such profits in the long run. Old men don't consider the long run though, do they, Klepto-Joe.
