This is an idea that I have been toying around with.

Eisenhover warned of the military-industrial complex and it made sence to worry about it. So say someone realise the dangers earlier, say at the end of World War 2. He suggest that the US shouldn't make that much weapons on their own but rather buy from European sourses. It would have two benefits. 1) Avoiding a military-industrial complex in the US with the ability to gain influence by the amount of people they hire for example. 2) Buying European weapons would be a way to subsidise their allies economies. I think it would require a initial invesment but the US could afford it.
