Sanctions Put Pentagon's Business Deals With Russia Up For Debate
Washington has imposed a number of economic sanctions on Russia in retaliation for that country's push into Ukraine.
Getting European allies to do the same has not always been easy, since many of those nations trade with Russia and fear getting hurt themselves.
But the Europeans are not the only ones balking: The Pentagon also buys Russian military hardware.
When U.S. military and intelligence satellites are shot into space, all the rocket engines that propel them are made by a state-owned enterprise in Russia. They're sold to a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing, which has an exclusive contract with the U.S. government to launch those satellites.
