US to station nuclear weapons in UK to counter threat from Russia​

The United States is planning to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years as the threat from Russia increases, Pentagon documents seen by The Telegraph reveal.

Procurement contracts for a new facility at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk confirm that the US intends to place nuclear warheads three times the strength of the Hiroshima bomb at the air base.

The US removed nuclear missiles from the UK in 2008, judging that the Cold War threat from Moscow had diminished.
The disclosure comes in the wake of warnings that Nato countries need to ready their citizens for war with Russia.

Last week, Adml Rob Bauer, a senior Nato military official, said that private citizens should prepare for all-out war with Russia in the next 20 years that would require wholesale change in their lives.

General Sir Patrick Sanders, the head of the British Army, went on to warn that the public would need to be called up to fight if there was war with Russia because the Army was too small. His comments forced Downing Street to rule out conscription.

Boris Johnson on Friday night backed Sir Patrick’s call for a citizen army, as he pledged to sign up if the UK went to war with Russia.

The US navy secretary, Carlos Del Toro, then urged Britain to “reassess” the size of its armed forces. On Friday, No 10 defended the Government’s military spending, pointing out that “the UK is the second biggest defence spender in Nato and the largest in Europe”.

The return of American weapons to the UK is part of a Nato-wide programme to develop and upgrade nuclear sites in response to heightened tensions with the Kremlin in the wake of the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Russia has stated that the placement of US weapons in Britain would be viewed by Moscow as an “escalation” and would be met with “compensating counter-measures”.

As well as the conflict in Ukraine, the West is facing rising challenges from Iran and North Korea, which have both grown closer to Moscow in recent years.

On Friday, Britain, France and Germany condemned Iran for launching a new satellite to guide long-range missiles. Tehran is enriching uranium for possible use in developing nuclear weapons.

The US and UK have also been carrying out air strikes in the Red Sea against Yemen’s Houthi rebels, the Iran-backed militia which have been attacking container ships in purported retaliation for Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.

Doesn’t the UK already have warheads? Why do they need American warheads? If anything, this sounds like they can’t afford to maintain their own warheads given all the other British military problems

If you've seen Trump on the talk show circuit before he became President, he would bring up out of nowhere how he use to think Heidi Klum was hot but he doesn't anymore and that's it. Nothing more said of it on why and no explanation. I've seen him do it a few times. Now why would he bother? And now you have the E Jean Caroll case where Trump denies ever meeting her because she's not his type... meaning old. In a deposition, he was shown a picture of himself and his then wife Ivana at a party taken around the time of the rape.

He identified the woman next to him as Marla Maples, his second wife after Ivana. That was E Jean Carroll back then. The man in between her and Trump's wife, Ivana, is E Jean Carroll's husband, John Johnson. So what do Heidi Klum and E Jean Carroll have in common? They both married black men. When Trump becomes President... Watch out Heidi Klum! Watch out Tim Scott's fiancé! No wonder Trump treated Scott in a humiliating fashion after he won New Hampshire.

The guy thinks he's immune from any sort of prosecution as President and he obviously has a problem with "good-looking" white women being with black men to the point he has to rape them because he has to be white conqueror in the end.
