2. If planes are for India, I don't have a big issue with that (other than distaste for arms, period).

I think that is what global trade is all about.

India says they will buy planes that were designed and updated in the USA, many of the parts will be made here, etc., helping to employ Americans and provide investment in India.

Now, I think it would be improper to build planes to be used by the US military in India.
