It is not the Kill Switch. It is the Trust Switch.

Short term recovery is impossible.

Lockheed Martin just blew the lid off Pandora’s Box—and they’re probably wishing they hadn’t. By loudly insisting there’s no kill switch in the F-35, the company didn’t put the issue to rest. They confirmed the very problem they were trying to deny. If there was no threat, why the need for damage control?

The F-35 is unmatched in electronic warfare. It’s a generational leap ahead of anything else in the skies. But now, that lead is in jeopardy—not because of Lockheed, not because of Denmark, not because of the experts who raised the alarm. The blame lies squarely with the Trump administration, whose reckless arrogance convinced them they could strong-arm allies and get away with it.

Now, the world is pushing back. That pushback came faster than anyone expected—triggered by a test that no one could ignore.
