Yes, I think the EU is taking the US to the WTO because they simply want payback... and that it has nothing to do with the rules. The EU's main claim is "The US paid too much in developing new technology."
Even if they got a bid from Boeing and then another from Airbus that's lower they'd always go with Boeing... because Airbus is a foreign company when it comes to new technology like the F22
Giving out military contracts to foreign companies makes no sense.
Hell infact Airbus won some recent military contracts that were only overturned because of the illegal subsidies.
