My feel from switzerland is that the reaction is extremely muted. I don't think this will be what pushes us to drop the F35. It is quite outrageous how reverent our government is in front of the US...

It feels wrong to give stupid intolerant fascists your billions, knowing they can brick the jet, like that Polish railroad company.

Actually, archive is better to read imo. But using a swiss media is maybe cooler too
