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.

Aren't those £12.50 stackable chairs? The sort that do the splits when sat on by a larger person from the USA? And that get thrown in swimming pools in Ibitha? (View Post)2 -

I wouldn't worry. As a general observation, people who are not sure about what they are opposed to are on a random walk shouting at.clouds. (View Post)1 -
Re: It’s not easy being green – politicalbetting.com
On that point specifically, and without trying a wider engagement, I'm not sure that Kruger knows what he means by "woke" or even "DEI", so I don't see how he can actual… (View Post)1
