Not reported much in US media, but mentioned in this Forbes article and big news in Europe...
"...the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has halted U.S. aid to Ukraine, including vital support for the F-16s’ radar jammers."
So get this straight, the US is disabling vital capabilities of a weapons system a US company sold to an ally.
Putting aside the horrendous ethical and political implications, what allies are now going to buy these vulnerable US weapons?
@mastodonmigration yes I think this will be a problem for the US in the future. They have until now been seen as a reliable partner; if you bought something from the US you could rely on that not suddently disappearing. A reputation that has been built over many decades, even centuries, is now quickly being destroyed.
The damage is done, even if Trump goes away the rest of the world now knows that the US can at any moment elect another unhinged maniac president. The US can no longer be trusted.
