At least 40% of Russian titanium aircraft parts have been sold to Boeing in the last several years. Russia has since threatened to halt titanium exports to the US. 

We noted if Russia banned rocket engines and titanium aircraft parts to the US, it would paralyze Boeing. It's still amazing after all these years of hard talk between Washington and Moscow -- the Pentagon continues to allow Boeing to expose critical parts of its supply chain to Russia.

Sputnik News reports that Boeing's new CST-100 Starliner, the program that has been in development since 2011 to replace the Space Shuttle, uses Russian-made parts.

he revelation of Boeing using a Russian-made part for its ‘Made in America’ Starliner came after Russian space agency Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said last week that he was "surprised" when he discovered a Russian firm was making parts for Boeing. The Starliner is a $4.2 billion program that replaces the Space Shuttle. It's designed to be launched via Atlas V non-reusable RD-180

Lockheed had to buy Soviet titanium to build the SR-71.

If you need titanium, you typically buy it from people who have it.

  I give you that, but we don't have to buy parts already made out of it. When we cut off The Russians with our allies over invading Crimea,Putin made his country more self-sufficient .

We on the other hand have imported a lot of goods and services from hostile foreign entities and destroyed the middle class with no good paying factory jobs here anymore so Major International Corporations here can lobby and dictate government polices for The NWO. The USA has dug it's own grave. The petrol dollar is going to collapse. The Oligarchy could care less. We Americans need to wake up ASAP.

The Top Countries Exporting to the U.S.

As the economy continues to evolve and shift, more countries are becoming major exporters in various industries. For example, now joined together in a common global economy, the countries of the European Union make a significant trade partner when grouped together. In 2018, the EU made up the second largest supplier of imports to the U.S at $487.9 billion. Those numbers in 2019 would make it number one.

The export business for these countries is expected to continue to grow significantly, producing profits in the billions and benefiting those countries' economies, as the U.S. continues to outsource work and bring in more products from overseas.

Boeing contracts parts from all over the world through purchasing agreements with foreign governments.  We buy your planes if you produce parts in our country.  It is necessary part international business, particularly when Airbus will do it if Boeing does not.

This particular piece is not on a commercial airplane, but negotiations do not focus on single parts.

Not all raindrops bring the sky with them.

        Yeah, But I doubt we could fight a conventional war for long here in The USA. Especially in The Space Forces.  We are overly dependent on Russia hardware for heavy lifting.

A conventional war in the Space Forces?  Interesting concept.

We can shoot down any satellite we wish to shoot down without Russian boosters.  I suppose if the Russians took a squad of Spetsnaz and took control of the ISS, we would have a problem re-taking it, but I doubt they are aware of the tactical nukes we planted on board with the Space Shuttle, so there should be little fall-out.

It took three months From Desert Shield to Desert Storm.No Merchant marine fleet so yes a conventional war in Europe would not stay conventional very Long. Boeing is a has-been organization and I would not invest in it any more.We are stupid to fall behind Russian on heavy lifting rockets. It was a mistake. The space force may have something they are not talking about,lets hope so.
