America is no longer a trustworthy ally. It would be unsafe to buy military hardware from them. Meanwhile, all the US's former allies will need to double their defence spending, buying jets, tanks, missiles, etc., from non-US democracies.
In the Battlestar Galactica reboot, the cylons put malware in the military systems in advance, so when they invaded they just switched those systems off and blew humans out of the sky.
I mean it's science fiction. It's not real. 
And who, in the past would think that buying weapon systems from the #mairikkkans would mean that someday in the future, the Failed States of America would switch off those systems.
Allies.
Where was that article I saw recently... Like #saas, Fighter jets as a service. Not what I want.

@Maxfieldripken @Nigel_Purchase be fair everyone that's bought an American electric car will have a kill switch in it that could stop them working at any moment...
Oh great, never thought of that! 
@Maxfieldripken @Nigel_Purchase electric cars had so much promise until capitalism absolutely destroyed any promise they had by filling them full of proprietary technology data stealing & anti-privacy scraping tools, not to mention the refusal to support aftermarket third party providers of technical services & alternative servicing providers, plus the ability to brick it on your driveway without even needing to visit you address. I would never buy an electric car, or even a car made after 2014.

Yeah, neoliberalism and the Washington Consensus really cleared all that up for me 30 years ago.
I've been using neofeudalism, but techno is way more descriptive
