Had no idea about the US nukes. We’re going to be Russia’s first target, aren’t we :'(
The UK had US nukes at Lakenheath for decades up until 2007. Frankly, I think we’ve been a lot more vulnerable to Russia since they stopped - if anything removing the nukes coincides with Russia’s increased aggression.
Always were. Cambridgeshire houses the US military intelligence headquarters for Europe and the Middle East, while the East Anglian bases are usually where the post-nuclear strike Air Force One backup is parked when their president is in Western Europe. Britain hosts early warning ICBM infrastructure too, and is an essential staging post for any conflict on the continent.
Russia has been banging on about nuking the UK anyway regardless of US nukes on our soil.
All their oligarchs keep buying property in London and thus taking money out of Russia, I’m sure that’s part of it.
Nah that’s just Russia spreading its tenticles. Years ago Putin implemented a law that said 50% of all oligarch’s wealth would be directed by the Kremlin - it was still their money, they get to keep the profits, but Putin dictates how it’s spent. If they didn’t comply they would likely fall out of a window. Nowadays we have Russian oligarchs investing in all sorts of political activities all over the world, but everyone just acts like it’s an individual acting of their own accord and not foreign state interference.
