Nuclear weapons storage in spotlight as US plans $4bn boost for its UK airbases

More than $4bn (£3bn) is to be spent upgrading the US government’s military and spy bases in the UK, according to official documents that shed light on the UK’s apparent role as a secretive site for American nuclear weapons.
The construction plans include building new bunkers in Suffolk, which will seemingly be used to store nuclear weapons, and modernising facilities to help covert units run secret operations.

Why are we storing nukes in the UK? I could see how we might have needed that 40 years ago but not now. This is a waste of money for fighting the type of wars that aren’t going to happen in the future.
AirStrip One has to play its part in the Oceania military industrial complex.
This is a good move. If Canada was storing nukes, we would not have Trump threatening annexation.
Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland all prove getting nukes is important.
You’re optimistic
