ignoring various questionable details here, the one main point is correct: Boeing and Airbus are strategic industrial assets of USA vs EU and have deep implications for strategic security for both US and EU and their clients.

If you are sitting say in UAE, buying Boeing vs AirBus is a political decision as well as a practical decision.
