I'm sure others will be thinking along similar lines.  Can they trust the current US administration?

Perhaps Charles de Gaulle was right?

They need to remember this administration will last 3 plus years then someone else will take over.
By the time they find another 2nd choice plane we'll have a new administration and they still won't have the planes they want/need if they drop the F-35's. I find knee jerk reactions usually turn out bad.

I'll keep my thoughts on De Gaulle to myself.

I'm not convinced that will happen or if it does, will it will make any difference?

Putin and Jinping were first elected for fixed terms.

Only time will tell.
