Siting US nukes at Lakenheath puts us all in danger
THE Morning Star sends its solidarity and support to those demonstrating tomorrow at Lakenheath, Suffolk, against the return of US nuclear weapons to British soil.
The US decision to place nuclear weapons in Britain, as part of a wider move to locate US missiles in various European client regimes including Britain and Germany, represents a serious heightening in tensions and increases the chance of nuclear warfare specifically.
This irresponsible escalation could not come at a more dangerous time, with war in the Middle East being promoted by the rogue actions of the hard-right Israeli government and the ongoing war in Ukraine being fuelled by Nato expansion and Russia’s imperial pretensions.
