It seems, for the 1st time in decades, there are no US nukes on UK soil!
This follows news that 110 US tactical nuclear weapons have been withdrawn from Lakenheath airbase in Suffolk. A report by weapons expert Hans Kristensen concludes that there are now no US nuclear weapons in Britain - for the first time since 1954.
US nuclear weapons were removed from Greece in 2001 and opposition across Europe is growing - in 2005 the Belgian Senate demanded the removal of US nuclear weapons from Europe, whilst only last week Germany's Social Democrats demanded the withdrawal of US nuclear weapons from German bases.

The whole of Europe should be a nuclear weapon free zone.

Originally posted by FabianFnasI agree. And, in the absence of a proper international government designed to outlaw warfare, I think that the only county that should have nuclear weapons should be the US and the US, to the best of its ability, should act as a kind of international peace-keeping force. I think this would be a less than perfect arrangement but much better and less dangerous than what we have now which is several countries having nuclear weapons.
Good for you! 🙂

US = peacekeeper? 😀
No country in the world has ever used nuclear bombs other than US. Twice!
US = the only nuclear country in the world = world safety? 😀
Seriously...
