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.

I see that at least one Conservative spokesperson has moved on a little from criticising the Govt for not doing in 3-4 months what the Conservatives failed to do in 14 years, to "they are doing … (View Post)1
