Significant modernization is underway at RAF Lakenheath for F-35A aircraft, a planned “surety dormitory,” and other infrastructure indicating that the nuclear weapons mission may be returning after a hiatus of 15 years.
Bloomberg: Russia Warns of 'Escalation' If US Stations Nuclear Bombs in UK
Russia warned Tuesday it will treat any US move to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years as an “escalation” after media reports indicated plans to deploy the bombs on British soil.
“If this happens, it will be treated by us as an escalation, which will lead to the exact opposite of achieving the pressing task of removing all US nuclear weapons from Europe,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Tuesday, according to state news service Tass.

Why meaning put nukes in GB?
More flexibility before a real war would start.
Can out fit planes with nuke instead of having to fly them across the Atlantic.
Also you can share.
If it did go nuclear, all protocols go out the window.
It is a good guess the Brits would also be using these bombs.
And bye bye Russia 30 min later ..this posturing makes no difference to the MAD outcome
@Nato troll, pretty sure the west was amassing troops on the Belarusian border and threatening invasion before tact nukes were brought to Belarus
2 nuclear bombs will go off soon one for Moscow one for north Korea
Cia told me a secret
