Remember "The Bomb"? - US nuclear missiles may return to Britain over Russian threat (Putin, weapons)

[WaldoKitty]

Everyone dismisses The Bomb as thing of past. No longer relevant. But looks as if you got 'em then flaunt 'em.

Or.... To quote a better known US President "Boys will be Boys".

US nuclear missiles may return to Britain over Russian threat: Foreign Secretary says Government will consider hosting weapons for first time since Cold War

So... didn't our brilliant president mock Romney about mentioning a Russian threat at the debates?
I wonder who is laughing now.

An incredibly dumb idea.

And if the Brits sign on to this, they're stupid too.

American aren't happy without a boogeyman. Can't find one? Invent one.

Actually Putin has been pushing the limit a bit with nuclear bomber and jet fighter flyby's of the UK. There's been a noted uptick in the activity of late.

Meaningless move on the chessboard of international relations.

Especially considering we no doubt have nuke carrying subs on station far closer to Russia than the UK.

We aren't the only ones. France and the UK do the same thing.

As do the Russians and probably the Chinese to us which makes all this publicly announced stuff just a bunch of political wanky waving.
