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

The Telegraph, January 26, 2024

Event

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.

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”.

Comment

The fear of war is growing and for the first time in many years there is talk that nuclear war could become a reality. There has never been so much talk about the use of nuclear weapons – mainly from Russian media. But it is this growing risk and the return to the Cold War that now sees the US making plans to send nuclear weapons back to the UK. Also this week the head of the UK army warned that the UK public have to be prepared to be called up to fight if the UK goes to war because the military is too small. General Sir Patrick Sanders stressed the need for the Government to “mobilise the nation” in the event of war with Russia.

Jesus said that

“men’s hearts would fail them for fear”

as they look at what is happening in the world. That fear is growing- the world is heading to war.

Bible quote

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26)
