I guess we have all seen all those wonderful toys coming from China. Technologies unimaginable a few years ago, like quadricopters and microminiature concealed cameras. It looks like the US Military is taking notice.
Other countries (such as China) build our stuff, understand how it works, and have found out how to make it very inexpensively. A remote-controlled drone was once the exclusive domain of law enforcement... now just about anyone who wants one can buy one.
Yup, it looks like the-powers-that-be are realizing their cats are getting out of the bag...

Yes, many big forces are friendly EU nations, but China and Russia are not, and they're the biggest (next to us). And both of them, unlike the EU nations, seem to have some level of conquest and hegemony as their goals.
You're absolutely right about the US military pouring money into stuff which doesn't work though.

And trying to get rid of shit that does, like the A-10 Warthog.
