Bad strategy or really good strategy? If USA switch them off now, their military industry is going to get dump by Europe forever.

We have to fight those American fascists. We had the same in Germany in the 1930is and 1940is. Don’t make the same Nazi mistakes we already made. We payed for it for decades. Impeach him as soon as possible. Legal, or illegally… doesn’t matter anymore.

So they take the 11th mobilising from Alaska seriously. Terrifying.

Imagine if I posted on Reddit, 10 years ago, That Donald Trump won another election and decided world domination is the way to go. First taking over Greenland to the point where NATO had to get involved.
I’d been down voted to hell and a bunch of comments calling me absolutely nuts that there is no way that would happen.
And yet here we are, This is realistic. It’s like we’re living in a dream.

This site will believe the most inane made-up shit without ever thinking it through or even trying to look it up.
The only feasible argument is that the US (Lockheed Martin) controls the software updates, and engine and stealth designs.
But even that goes both ways (to a much lesser extent for the US, though) due to the worldwide logistics chains in use currently. It would require the US to spool up some specific local manufacturing arms very quickly if the UK stopped supplying what they make (15% of the F35 componentry is made in the UK), setting the US back a number of months themselves.

‘cannot target aircraft owned by same vendor’
‘your conflict is outside warranty coverage’
‘full stealth mode unavailable due to region restrictions’
‘please contact lockheed customer support to deploy refueling rod’
‘lockheed live chat unavailable, please wait 3–5 business wars’

And you know if Trump backs off in the end its gonna be same narrative as with NATO funding. Gonna take all the credit how he gave Europe wake up call to increase Greenland security.

The Orange Man is a madman; the Allies won’t last three years with this raving lunatic. You’re going to unleash the sum total of all fears with the nonsense of a completely insane MAGA administration. America is absolutely not untouchable, Americans, know that this will cause collateral damage unprecedented in history.

Does trump not no they don’t make everything for the f35. Maybe Britain says no to keep building the parts for the plane

Doesn’t US made military equipment have a fail safe built into them that they can never be used against the US? Or is that science fiction?

You know, there will be a time when the universe goes cold, and none of this will have mattered at all. It’s all just a flash in a pan of absolute horseshit, a merry dance of atoms that somehow managed to turn cosmic dust into an utterly bizarre experience, but for an instant, for no reason whatsoever.

Europe relying heavily on American high tech military equipment, like F35s, is such a Trojan Horse. Makes me wonder if this wasn’t the plan all along. I know there are a lot of European technology in them as well, but regardless I’m not gonna be surprised if these jets and other essential equipment (like aerial defense) suddenly start having “operational issues”.
PowerLion786 on
My understanding is the fighter jet software has a back door. The US can turn off the jets. Denmark bought the wrong jets.

It’s wild how a scenario that would have been pure fiction a decade ago now feels like a plausible news headline. The strategic importance of Greenland is suddenly front and center for everyone. This whole situation feels like we’ve slipped into an alternate timeline.

Wouldn’t the US be moving assets closer if they were planing to ‘invade’ Greenland imminently? I just imagine an obvious build up before anything really occured.

And the next time they shut them down a software update will stall and brick them.
