  1. This is just posturing

    The US already has enough nukes and the capabilities to hit any target. Anywhere in the world.

    Stationing them in the UK doesn’t change that

  2. We have all their early warning radar systems dotted along the coast why not some nukes too to add to our nukes. We have subs all over the planet ready to incinerate the planet, this should have been an internal memo.

  3. No doubt including a new batch of spies to run over our young bikers too.

  4. Oohhhh, is this why we had all those scare stories about how they are going to start conscripting people? Softening us up for this?

  5. Doing the Ukraine a favour drawing Russian assets away to Nato boarders.

  6. Oh great, yet another reason for us to get melted into glass

  7. Jesus – what with Brexit, the strikes and this, it’s like we have gone back to my childhood. Lets hope the Good Friday Ageement doesn’t break

  8. Uk has their own nukes so what’s going to be achieved by that.

  9. Not unusual.  They’ve had B61’s at Lakenheath since the 1950’s

  10. So we are going down that road again. Putting usa nukes in this country makes more of a target, not less.

  11. Doesn’t make a huge difference, if the Cold War mkii ever goes hot we’re all* dead anyway.

    ​

    *Technically about 1% of the population globally might survive, but they’d have a pretty miserable time of it.

  12. Yay now all those JSO morons can go hang out at Greenham Common with their crusty soap dodging friends

  13. Eh, whilst I’m not a fan of the world going to complete darkness if everyone decides to launch nukes. I’m also not unhappy we’ve got *more* nukes on/around our soil in the case it does come to it, especially when it comes from a superpower.

    At the end of the day, if we ever get to that point, my personal opinion is that it’s probably better humans are wiped out. If something has a potential to act as a deterrent and frankly nuclear disarmament of all countries is a practical/political impossibility, I’d rather they’d be more incentive to avoid it happening.

    America is a superpower, showing the UK has their support helps us, regardless. I’m not keen on US politics but of all countries in the world, given our historic connection, I’d rather have us in their pockets.

  14. Arent they closer to Russia if they are stationed in America?

    Can we not just stay out of it this time? I fancy sitting at least one major conflict in history out.

  15. This is sub is one step from cheering for Russia wtf is going on for the last few days lol

  16. Its nothing they haven’t done before during the cold war

  17. The UK has enough nukes, we don’t need US warheads

  18. As someone who lives in the UK. I prefer you didn’t. Why don’t you leave it with the French?

  19. How about support Ukraine and Europe or take your toys home and leave us to it to sort ourselves out

  20. They have been here for decades already. We literally make the war heads for them and anyone who doesn’t think the special relationship the us and uk have and the one that is referred to as such is anything other than a nuke weapons agreement is an idiot

  21. Shame that the Torygraph are cheering on the main threat from Russia to the US, on the grounds that he hates trans people as well.

  22. porject fear is working rather well !!!!

    ​

    What do you feel about the following quote “The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing”?

  23. Our special relationship. bring it on, Greenham Common women have had a long enough rest time for them to get back to protesting.

  24. Sure it’s posturing, but what’s actually the point in this if the UK already has ample nuclear weapons to erase Russia?

    If anything seems like a liability that the US could launch from UK soil without the UK approving it… and on the flip side, if the UK has to approve that action I refer to my original question.

  25. I mean we’ve got our own boys but thanks anyway lol, maybe stick them in Poland instead.

  26. Is this the news running on Internet Explorer and bing?

    Russia have been posturing for ages. Like a year ago this was a worry

    Now I’m going to get Conscripted to run a US nuclear silo?

    What’s changed

  27. Went to Center Parcs near there. Had no idea there was a military base there. Literally thought nuclear war had started when I hear endless I mean 10 minutes solid of deafening roaring in the skies like bombers taking off. Never in my life have I heard such a roar of jet engines for so long. I was convinced ww3 had started and it was strategic bombers or missiles firing. It was at a real tension point between us and Russia as well as they kepy incursions into our air space. I must admit it was the most frightening noise I’ve ever heard.

  28. Massive mistake. People fought long and hard to get US nukes off our soil. Keep them out. It makes us a bigger target for Russia and China.

  29. I thought we already had them.
    Wasn’t that what all those posh women were shouting about in Greenham in the 80s?
