US Plans To Station Nuclear Weapons In UK As Threat Of WW3 With Russia Increases by Thissystem(op): 4:20pm On Jan 27, 2024
The United States is planning to station nukes in the UK for the first time in 15 years as the threat of World War III with Russia increases[

The warheads are expected to be three times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb, and they may be deployed at the Royal Air Force Lakenheath base.

The move is part of NATO's program to develop and upgrade nuclear sites following Russia's invasion.

The US got rid of their nuclear missiles in the UK back in 2008 after the threat of the Cold War had lessened.


The return of weapons to the UK is part of a huge Nato push to develop and upgrade nuclear sites across the world in preparation for a potential escalation of fighting.

Tensions have heightened with the Kremlin after Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Russia has said if the US places weapons in Britain they would view it as an “escalation” and would be met with “compensating counter-measures”.

Let both USA and Russia take note that we are watching carefully and will not take it lightly with any party that deploys weapon of mass destruction

I still don't understand.
Who gave USA the right tn do anyhow but no other country?

I mean if Russia tries to arm its allies now, they would react.

For example, USA doesn't want Russia to invade Ukraine but if a country like Mexico decides to support Russia and allow it to arm it, USA will invade mexico.

Re: US Plans To Station Nuclear Weapons In UK As Threat Of WW3 With Russia Increases by RenaissanceGuy:
US keeps on creating phantom enemies so as to keep their military industry well fed grin. If Russia joins NATO today, US will name China as the biggest threat to world peace, to justify their $800b defense budget. And if China, Iran and North Korea finally join NATO grin, US' economy will collapse, because the prosperity and the millions of jobs created through military industry will be wiped out.

The West are not saints and exploited Africa but definitely China and Russia are not better, they just don't have the opportunity in fact Russia and China can even be worse.

Historically country like China and Russia only respect the strong and Africa and black people in general are very weak in all aspects of life.

If country like China, Russia, North Korea and even Iran get power to do anything and are in charge. I tell you black people will become slaves again

It is just very stupid for any African to pick a side, it is better to be neutral because none of them like your black ass but if i want to pick, i will still pick the west because at least black people have been allowed to lead and achieve a lot.

Hahahahaha, WW3,onei am certain is that the united states and western Europe will be nuked massively in this war and their people will never wish for war again,north Korea,china,Russia and Co have equipped all their nuclear warheads with latest technology and distance that will hit any and every part of the united states,this time their soldiers won't fly to war in Europe o,the war will come to them in their homes.

I don't understand the kind of opportunity you're talking about, maybe you should come simpler...

You mean Russia did not have the opportunity that Portugal, Spain, Belgium, France have??... Sometimes you guys just talk as if you're senseless...

Imagine saying Russia did not have opportunity to colonise Africa... The same Africa countries like Belgium colonise?...

Who can stop Russia then and now?.. No one. grin

Those countries that colonised other where know for their adventures, Russia is not know to have set sail to discover the world, if not the would have colonized.. Why did Russia join Hitler to invade Poland ? Russia has invaded it neighbors countlessly.. Russia had its eyes on Europe when others went in search of the world.. Know this and know peace

Na nuclear armed Russia dem wan tackle?

What US is doing across Europe, Russia dare not try half of it in North America, imagine make Russia dey woo Cuba or Mexico to join economic and military forces together, the US won’t have it

If Russia had no nuclear weapons the US and NATO would have invaded it like they did Libya, Syria, Iraq etc

You are the one talking as if you are senseless It is because Russia didn't really see much benefit or value in colonizing any where in Africa like the others. It isn't because they care to that extent, at the time they have their eyes on Europe. It is not like Russia haven't tried to invade other countries before but at the time their eyes were on Europe and they didn't see much value in Africa, proximity was also another factor.

You think if Russia was as close to Africa as UK they wouldn't colonise Nigeria or other area in Africa ? Same Russia that swallowed all the smaller European countries that surrounded it.

All you're saying is rubbish and excuse...

I ask you again..

Did Russia attend the Berlin conference??..
Did Russia colonise Africa??..

Answer my question and knock your head for remaining in st*pidity...
