US Raided Swiss F-35 Budget to Force Patriot Payment
Switzerland froze its Patriot payments. So the US just reached into a shared military sales account and pulled the money from Switzerland's F-35 funds instead.
Over "a low three-digit million" CHF already transferred. Switzerland now has to cover the gap in its F-35 budget on top of the original dispute.
Swiss officials call it "very unsatisfactory" and say it is "damaging trust" in US arms agreements.
The freeze was made "useless." You said no, they took it anyway. From a different pocket. That's not a partner, that's a landlord with a master key.
