I wouldn’t put it past Trump to try stipulate the secret inclusion of some kind of software back door into the avionics system that will cause those “toned down” fighters to fall out of the sky at the press of a big red button on his desk.
There is actually some suspicion that F-35 software does have a “kill switch” but the defense industry really, really doesn’t want that getting out there. Europeans and Asians need to buy our planes. Trump is killing our industry with this shit.
Meanwhile, Australia has chosen to cosy up to America to the tune of billions of dollars tied up in a deal to gain nuclear submarines that we can’t even maintain in our own ports.
Well he’s certainly hastening the day of “not our allies.”
Seriously fuck this asshole… As much as I hate him stop fucking killing my job.
