Recently, the United Kingdom reported that a Pentagon document shows that the United States is planning to deploy nuclear weapons to the United Kingdom, with the aim of countering the increasingly obvious military threat from Russia. In fact, it is not the first time that the news about the United States deploying nuclear ** to Britain again after 15 years has appeared!
In August last year, this plan was already **! Moreover, this plan has entered a stage of rapid implementation. At that time, the U.S. Congress had allocated $50 million for the infrastructure construction of the U.S. Air Force's base in the United Kingdom! Having said that, in fact, many people can see that the UK is just a rehash of the past, and the US nuclear deployment plan in the UK does not seem to have made any progress.
So why did the UK do this? Judging from some of the problems that Britain is currently facing, this is a bit scary, and it is here to pull the tiger skin of the United States and embolden itself.
As we all know, the two conflicts that the international community is most concerned about, whether it is the Russia-Ukraine conflict or the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, have the shadow of Britain in them. Moreover, Britain is also the only Western country that has cooperated with the United States in a very high-profile manner in these two conflicts. The United States has instigated other Western countries to support Ukraine, and the United Kingdom has long played the role of "leading the charge", whether it is the first to provide main battle tanks or the first to provide long-range missiles, which has already annoyed Russia! The UK has even taken the lead and signed a full agreement with Ukraine.
Then, in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Britain also actively cooperated with the United States and provided support to Israel! In particular, after the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has expanded to the Red Sea, and after the Houthis attacked ships heading for Israel in order to put pressure on Israel, Britain even supported the dispatch of troops to cooperate with the United States' actions against the Houthis. So far, most Western countries have refused to support the US attack on the Houthis and have denied any involvement in the US-led Red Sea escort alliance, so the UK's performance has stood out!
Now Britain has been completely taken into the ditch by the United States! In the Red Sea, the Houthis regard British ships as a key target, and the threat they can pose to Britain is still very limited. However, facing pressure from Russia has also made Britain more and more uneasy. And Britain knows very well that it has no ability to deter Russia at all, so it has to move out of the United States as a backer in a very uneasy situation and show the hole card of nuclear **!
It's a pity that Britain knows that it is scared, that it is in a hurry, and it seems that it is a little not very smart, and it uses the wrong method of "saving life". Britain stressed that the nuclear bomb deployed by the United States to Britain this time was three times more powerful than the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. However, the nuclear ** that the United States wants to deploy in the UK is actually not so mysterious! It's basically the B61-12 tactical nuclear bomb. You say that Russia will be afraid of this tactical nuclear bomb of the United States?
Since they all have a "nuclear" word, Russia will not play with you! It doesn't matter if you have a B61-12 tactical nuclear bomb, which can be dropped by F-35 fighters, or what kind of stealthy strike method. Russia's policy of nuclear counterattack has been emphasized more than once, whether it is a tactical nuclear bomb or a large-yield nuclear bomb, as long as Russian territory is hit by a nuclear attack, then it will use the maximum yield of nuclear ** to pull the opponent to be buried together! Therefore, such a threat from the United States and Britain is slightly ridiculous in itself.
