   Well, now you know that such channels didn't exist.

   I assume you suffer from some sort of brain damage. Try to understand that   
   the fighter deal was so large in value that it was impossible for the Finns   
   to increase the volume of export to the USA in short notice via "usual   
   channels" There were not such channels. Most people find this obvious -   
   trivial actually but I guess the turd is after a "proof" of some sort. If   
   Finns could have compensated the bill by selling goods to America by   
   conventional ways then - no doubt - so it had been.arranged.   
      
   I assume you have invented a brand new path to riches which are available to   
   everyone on earth: just sell more. Does your mother sell in those Tupperware   
   meetings?

   It stands there quite clearly what I said. [The] amount is a magnitude too   
   high but that is irrelevant.
