🚨 US officials told their British counterparts: If you are “deemed not to be doing what you are told you will suddenly find out missiles won’t fire and planes won’t fly. You have got to be careful.” This will be the end of US weapons exports globally. https://www.thetimes.com/article/a591fcae-34c9-4cdc-9f95-7d203cce7879?shareToken=8b4db674777d1664a5841466bbb0f415

    Is this actually a surprise?

    I mean actually saying it out loud would be tactless and serves no purpose, but there’s no way you’d sell a sophisticated weapon without there being some way to ensure it can’t be used against you. Planes, missiles,subs…

    I always thought that was the point of making major acquisitions from different countries. As if one country shut down, say, your planes, at least your navy and subs would still work.

    It’s basic risk management.
