The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

No, in general they don't check the detail enough afaics, even when obvious. Like the rest of our media. I do think the BBC politicise less, however, in general. Example: back in around 2017 or … (View Post)1 -

Where did "KemiKaze" come from? I saw it here first and have been using it ("flies into things at random and blows herself up"), but where was it coined? (View Post)1
