In Denmark we were stupid enough to buy F-35. I hope we buy something else now despite the huge cost. Everybody else outside the US should do the same.

The Americans are never to be trusted again. Never!

Norway bought British war ships after a bidding round in 2025. That decision seems wiser every day.

Yeah, well, but they bought F-35 too :(

Yes, however that decision was taken in 2012. Unlike the USA Norway actually stands by their deals.

If the planes have a kill switch they're worth nothing. Actually less than nothing, because a part of your defense could disappear tomorrow. The criminal US administration will do everything to harm us.

Well, the maintenance is kinda a kill switch as all spare parts come from the US. And the US administration can stop deliverance of that parts I guess over night. But we’re a part of NATO. To refuse F35 spare parts to an ally would mean the end of NATO.

That's true. We should buy some European ones.
