At this point Poland should just cancel any future deals with US as they have proven to be unreliable strategic partner right now. Come back to the table once the administration changes.

A good point, but where would we buy something comparable to F35s, Patriots, the ICBS, etc.
The Americans could stop servicing our M1s and F16s
Speaking of the equipment, the problem is not only its availability but also a production rate in different countries

Problem is they could do it anyway.

‘Defending freedom’ is the catch-all phrase this country uses for every conflict we’re involved in. It’s a cliche.

In reality, we don’t give two craps about promoting freedom. We care about power.

Russia’s expansion westward threatens our own sphere of influence; which is the warmongering NeoCons’ worst nightmare.

For right or wrong, Trump sees our interests differently.

What are American (geopolitical) interests in this new foreign policy?

I would make a guess that it's abandoning allies, spheres of influence, national interests outside of CONUS and the super power status.

Security independence isn't available by simply flipping a switch. Could have been there already, but I won't repeat what been said in this thread often enough in the last few years.

But to what end?

I mean if they wanted to address the massive US debt they would be saving on defence expenditures. Trump wants to make cuts on everything but defence expenditures.

New Intel Shows Russian Officials Believe Trump Has Already Agreed to Kremlin’s ‘Peace Plan’ to End War in Ukraine

Kyiv Post exclusive: The Trump White House is moving toward accepting key Russian demands, emboldening the Kremlin as it seeks to undermine Zelensky and shape the war’s end on Moscow’s terms.

Cool peace plan

Against the backdrop of the widespread use of drones, classic types of weapons are still used by the Russian army in Ukraine. The video shows the use of the 82-mm mortar "Podnos". The 2B14 mortar was adopted by the USSR in 1983, the mortar's firing range is up to 3920 meters. The rate of fire is up to 24 rounds per minute. The mortar crew fires at a strong point of the Ukrainian army on the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. This is the Kakhovka direction.

When your ally is now rooting for the scum that invaded you. Smh. Can't wait for them to replace Zelensky with Kremlin's puppet that will come up with "referendum" for new regions to give away to Russia without firing a single bullet. Don't forget about bringing back some FSB agents pops to run Russian Orthodox churches in Ukraine again.

Meanwhile I'll start drafting my own plans for invading western regions of Belarus and Koningsberg Oblast.

Technical details of the Russian operation to pass units through an underground gas pipeline into the rear of the Ukrainian army, into the Sudzha industrial zone in the Kursk region of Russia, have become known. This video was shown earlier. It is worth noting that gas industry specialists considered the operation to pass through the gas pipeline impossible. Despite this, the operation was successfully carried out.

The goal of the Russian operation "Potok" is to enter the rear of the Ukrainian army and destabilize its forces, which ultimately happened in Sudzha and in the area after it was carried out. The Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline was used. The operation is large-scale, it was prepared for about 3 weeks, 800 people passed through the gas pipe in small groups. Ukrainian intelligence noticed the operation only at the final stage. The units that participated in the operation to pass through the gas pipe in Sudzhi, the Vostok DRShB, the Veterans ODShB, Akhmat, the 16th Brigade of the 106th Airborne Division, and the 30th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Ground Forces.

Despite the fact that the gas pipe was destroyed in places, gas was pumped out of it for several months and oxygen was pumped in. In order for the soldiers to exit the gas pipe to the surface, technological holes were made in it. When passing through the gas pipe, several people lost consciousness, convulsions, burning in the lungs, and headaches were noted. 800 people passed through the pipe for 4 days. Food and water were carried through the pipe, and toilets were even installed.

At the last stage of the operation, Ukrainian artillery noticed Russian groups and began shelling them. The video was published by Ukrainian media, reporting that all the soldiers were destroyed. But this is not true, and the video of hundreds of Russian soldiers being killed has never been published.

Imo, its this.


Ukraine war: Trump is not trying to appease Putin – he has a vision of a new US-China-Russia order

 

[Picanha]

its mostly a lack of knowledge. There is no kill switch etc.

The F35 does come with an international support network, which could in theory be turned off, so once you used any spare parts of your own, you will find it hard to get any more.

here is no way the UK or anyone else would buy a system with a built in kill switch. But also a reason why the UK still has 2 different fleets of aircraft, one american, and one British or European.

But then look at switzerland, with the Gepard ammo.

Most US aircraft have 2 or more computer operating systems unrelated to each other and manufactured by different companies as a safeguard to any sort of hacking.

This "kill switch" story is just manufactured click bait.

Its not a kill switch come on never did a over the air software update to machines?

The "kill switch" isn't physically there but the machine can be made unusable or compromised remotely.

The use of several computers has precisely this reason affecting the software makes thrse systems unusable.

Well, that's depressing.

I don't know. Trump seems to be doing everything to make CONUS his fortress of solitude with ambitions on Greenland, Canada, Panama, while giving up on everything else.

Yeah, you can pretty much brick Windows computers for a while with a faulty/compromised automatic update. Not sure how the F-35 upgrades are performed though and if this is a real risk at all
