ArmCo is in the business of selling weapons to national governments. On September 1, 2019, the nation of Qarat is at war with Bohrein and, as is widely publicized, the nations are conducting peace negotiations even as they fight. Also on September 1, by signed writing, ArmCo as buyer contracts with WeapCo as seller for the purchase of 100 tanks at $200 million, delivery to be made eleven months later on August 1, 2020. ArmCo forms the contract in order that it be able to supply Qarat and Bohrein with additional tanks if and as the two nations seek to purchase them. ArmCo pays WeapCo $20 million on September 1 and promises to pay the remaining balance on August 15, 2020. On July 1, 2020, the warring nations reach a peace accord. The war ends. Consequently, ArmCo is unable to sell the tanks. It wants not to pay WeapCo any remaining purchase price. If ArmCo claims discharge by frustration of purpose, which of the following facts, if proven by WeapCo, would weaken ArmCo’s claim?
