You're absolutely correct - I toured the ULA Decatur booster faculty mere days ago. There's spaceforce-branded parts bolted onto Centaur rockets using Russian engines all over the place. Now to be fair they also have an engine made in Washington too but this stuff takes a looooong time to make any changes.
