USA exiting openskies agreement and scrapping OC135Bs

https://www.dw.com/en/us-officially-...act/a-55691315

Not wanting to start a trump thread (honestly) but can anyone see any strategic benefit to the USA from either exiting openskies or scrapping the current assets they use for this ELINT.

If its just political to mess up the incoming administration then end of thread.

Apart from stopping others overflying the USA as they develop something so secret squirrel that they feel its a game changer and feel it’s worthwhile losing the ability to do the same elsewhere I can’t see any potential benefit to leaving the treaty?

Interested if others can see something else, not interested in Trump good or bad debate everyone has their own opinions on that.

TIA.
