The biggest thing will be all those nato countries who can't do anything with their US weapons if the US says so.

That is only if they want to continue to buy new weapons, not if they intend to male weapons in Europe

No. I mean the weapons they have now. F35 for example. If a war happens in Europe, will those planes be useful without US support and authorizations? US can do a lot of harm to Europe with that.

That sword cuts both ways. The F-35 has parts from all over the US and EU. This doesn't extend to every weapon system, but if the US refuses to support F-35s, their own F-35s would lose support too.
