This is quite concerning. NATOs Wedgetail (= AWACS replacement) programme has been afaics essentially killed by US withdrawal.
I'm not sure where this laves the UK.
NATO’s effort to replace its ageing E-3A Sentry fleet has been upended after the United States pulled out of the alliance’s planned purchase of up to six Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, leaving the programme without a strategic or financial anchor, the UK Defence Journal understands.
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.

The lack of effective insults from Trump and his Trumptons seems telling to me. He can't go directly for racism or misogyny, so all I have seen so far is "lying Kamala". (View Post)1 -

You are arguing that post-millennial Glaswegians are sober? They live, presumably, on ice cream and teacakes. (View Post)2 -
