The story starts here:

For Russian military combat vehicles.

The U.S. Army’s tank tech is concentrated in Warren, Michigan.

At the U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC).

Warren is 20-miles northeast of Detroit.

As of July 1st, Russia owns 51 per cent of Ford Sollers.

With control, nothing can stop the Russians from using free American technology to build military vehicles like tanks.

U.S. taxpayers have been doing this since May 31st, 1929.

Another Detroit-based company, Borg-Warner, has been building the military chassis for Russian missile launchers for the last 30-years.

For Russia.

For taxpayers, what could be worse?

Allowing other companies like Boeing and Bechtel to do the same thing?

Or porous technology?

And making it available to more companies around the world?

Or all of the above?

Is the Army wisely spending its money?
