Essentially we lose our national sovereignty in all but name with that move. Its bad for international negotiation of trade and whatnot, since we are on a leash to the US at that point. On the plus side, we run constant exercises with the US, keeping both our supply of active duty and reserve man power sharp and trained.
The F-35 is excellent for what it is: a low observable multi role strike fighter. It is out performed by other aircraft in certain regards but remains a stellar aircraft none the less.
