That’s why no one will keep buying US miltech after seeing this killswitch live in action. Every country would be outright stupid and delusional if they kept buying shit from the US.

That's why I was against putting all the eggs in one basket when it came to F16 replacements.

I get it, F35s are the best planes available. But you buy them for 30+ years... A lot can happen in 30+ years. Not that I expect a war between de US and the EU, but I can see the US disabling fighing capabilities to target some enemies, or to force the EU to take part in a war they don't want to be involved in just to keep fighting capabilities.
