Yeah, and it'd be totally kosher if they dumped billions upon billions worth of military contracts like the US does, huh?

Both entities subisidize their respective industrial bases.

Your joking right?  Who else is supposed to do Military work.

The EU takes protectionism to a whole different level then the US.

 

But that's the point, the US government throws billions at boeing the same way the EU does with Airbus.

Each entity uses different means to channel public money towards the aeronautic conglomerates but at the end, both Boeing and Airbus get a nice bottom line boost courtesy from public budgets.

Not at all.  A military contract is something done for the government.  Pay for work.

What the EU was doing was completely different.

The US gave money to Boeing for MILITARY planes.

The EU gave money to Airbus for CIVILIAN planes.

One was for a product of the state... the other was to give Airbus an advantage.
