Was UK offered the codes to integrate Meteor? If so, why is LM doing it? My guess is it's a business decision.

Jump to postMacron made clear that the French would only answer a nuclear strike if France is threatened. Any link to that claim? If true, it is imho safe to say that the Franco-German plan on sidelining NATO to create "EU Army" is a stillborn. Killed to those who conceived it and pushed hardest for ...

Interesting. Is radiation actually measured, could pilots maybe wear devices similar to nuclear reactors' workers ?
Jump to postI agree that a 17yo being passed around at a party is unsavory but wouldn't make a scandal everywhere.

It's certainly not up to me to decide if US forces should stay, I have some familiarity with the subject due to my nationality : long before my birth our president Charles de Gaulle asked all US forces to leave France...

Jump to postMy bad I thought it was in NATO. The can of worms is that it's in the EU but I guess it's less of one since Turkey's accession to the EU is dead and buried.

I think farm subsidies are a necessary evil that all countries should be taking part in. Ensuring the population is fed is the most basic government role. And importing food isn't a good solution, it should only be for pleasure (exotic fruits) not the staples. With that said, I can't understand how ...
