A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections".
Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x)

It’s also important to recognize that the main reason *anyone* buys US military equipment is for relationship reasons. US stuff is the highest of high end in terms of gadgets, so very expensive, and total overkill for the vast majority of other countries.
I feel like this is going to be a hard sell while we are also telling them to rely more on themselves, we’re going to hit all of them with massive tariffs, and that we might start a war with Denmark.
US officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit US manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters reut.rs/4jjPyj7
