What it is called when the US sells weapons to European countries that are connected to the US network, share data and can only be activated by US officials? Should their customers retaliate? "we can do it, you can't" https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/23052/foreign-f-35-use...
Yes, the US prioritizes itself over other countries, as every country does.

Obviously, when it comes to terrorist groups and broke eastern european nations the U.S. has made mistakes with this line of reasoning. Re: captured weapons in ukraine ending up on the black market...

> "we can do it, you can't" Yes, exactly. The US knows full well how powerful that sort of control and access is, and other countries are (apparently) ok with that. The implicit social contract in the West is that the US maintains global peace anyway. Obviously the US (and other countries) do not have similar levels of trust and cooperation with China, hence these sort of responses.
So now the US gets to decide who is worthy of becoming your friend?
What's next?

That took long enough! Glad we're finally looking out for national security interests, even if it was partially incentivized by economic protectionist ideas - it's naive to think China hasn't done the same to other foreign tech companies.

The US can decide who its allies are, other countries can do the same for themselves. What are you even objecting to here?

I feel like you skimmed this article, and thought it was about something nefarious... so added it to your post because you thought it confirmed what you already thought.
