    You mean like my PC suddenly stops working when it doesn’t receive updates, or how it suddenly falls apart when the warranty goes out? Funny thing, the people tried to use the same argument when purchasing US planes to try to claim the opposite, that they would still be useful regardless of US attempts at intervention. Decide which is which, maybe?

    Anyway, points aside, doesn’t stop from these theories actually existing, as your “All these backdoor fantasies” allude to, so I’m not sure whom you are trying to argue against since in this comment I’m not even pushing them. It’s just making a light-hearted jest that went “whoooosh” past you.

      Well, military equipment has a much higher rate of wear and maintenance, than you would expect. Things can become obsolete and unusable in a time span of month rather than years. But sure. Let’s simply compare them to personal computers.

      It’s also rumoured, for a long time, decades, that the US has kill switches in most of the world’s computers. A fusible link they can send a message to that bricks it.
