Given that Trump is changing US foreign policy 180 degrees, I would not be surprised if they not only stop supplying some parts, but stop supplying F-35s to NATO members altogether. I am even considering supplying F-35s to countries that are against NATO, such as Russia!!! (but I exclude Iran due to Israel's strong influence in the US).
This is not fantasy.
Trump can pull the US out of NATO.
Unless he is kicked out of the White House.
There is already information about the Pentagon's decision to withdraw 20,000 US troops from Europe.
Russian F35 would be a sight to behold. Russia - US alliance against china, we are living in video game chaos world at this point. Is this the end of civilization I wonder?

In fact, the US and Russia have never fought each other. They were allies in two world wars. They have never had territorial claims against each other. However, the same cannot be said about Russia and China. When the US and almost all Western European countries attacked China in the 19th century, Russia took the opportunity to send troops from the north and occupy 1.5 million square kilometers of Chinese territory. The Chinese have not forgotten this.
Russian anti-American propaganda has long confused me. They can easily become strategic allies, which means redefining the borders of many states and even destroying some of them. I do not see any serious obstacles to these two states getting closer.
At least it is not as “unnatural” as an alliance between Russia and China.
Another thing is that even these two powerful states, in my opinion, will not be able to prevent China from becoming stronger.
Perhaps this is the historical process that cannot be stopped.

One could argue that they did fight each other, a little bit kinda. 13,000 Americans (in the Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok regions.

Yes, it happened. The Americans, British and Japanese briefly landed troops in Russia after World War I to punish it for its separatist peace with Germany. But there was no war between them as such. They demanded that the Soviets commit to repaying the enormous debts (almost half a trillion dollars at today's exchange rates) to Tsarist Russia. The Russians cheated them and never repaid the debt. Only 100 years later, Putin got it repaid by paying them... only 120 million dollars. In the 19th century, the Russians even fought in Alaska and California...
By the way, during the war of independence, Turkey and Russia became military allies.
All these events have little effect on the long-term historical relations between states. The geography of the countries has a permanent influence. No wonder the Russians have been dreaming about the Bosphorus for 1000 years :)

A wounded bear is still a dangerous bear.

Im not surprised that Israel doesnt want Russia gone because they want to use Russia against the Turks.

Turks are the masters of the Middle East and Israel doesnt like it one bit.

When it comes to war the Turks are
pretty much competent. I do worry if the TSK will end up like Russia or Arab countries we seen signs of what Erdogan has done to the armed forces. Full of corruption and yes men.
