In a Keir Starmer impression like Milo Edwards does:
“I welcome the nuclear proliferation, and I encourage it to go further. We will host nuclear weapons in a sensible way, in a measured way”

Time to show your convictions, Britain.
I think you will be fine though, Trump wouldn’t risk his golf courses over this.
“Mr. President, how can I help you?”
“If England gets in a nuclear war - my golf courses are bad - right? Very, very bad.”
“The country’s infrastructure would be beyond repair and the number of causalities would—”
“Yeah-yeah-yeah. But how 'bout my golf courses?”
nuclear war gives me so much anxiety. It’s absurd that people have lived with Armageddon hanging over them for almost a hundred years now. I imagine that alone has done unimaginable harm to literally everyone’s psyche, just constant stress and trauma for everyone.
and personally it just gets worse and worse over time. I just expect if nothing else for something to happen, even if it’s a fucking accident, and then, woops. I don’t dream often but when I do a frequent recurrence is just helplessly watching the bombs drop until one gets me
After moving out to a rural town, now we’re at least 30 minutes from the international airport, which I think would be the only reason for a bomb to drop here, so I tell myself maybe we’d survive. But then I think about watching Threads and obviously I’m not sure if I’d want to.
I live in what’s probably an unlucky situation according to this map…
Google was shitty and annoying so I gave up. I don’t know how accurate the map is. It might be shit too. In any case - according to the map I live near a civilian target. Unfortunately - I’m far enough away that if it was hit - I’d survive. And god only knows how the winds would carry the fallout from other targets. The north western part of North Dakota would be the best place to be. It would be the first place targeted and so heavily targeted that there would be no way to survive.
Welcome to America’s ‘Nuclear Sponge’
The United States currently deploys hundreds of nuclear missiles across Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
oh cool it’s hard to tell from the map but it looks like there’s random spots exactly where I am and idfk why there’s no military shit. Maybe it’s the airport, idk, hard to tell without a more detailed map
Google sent me to an article with that map but it was useless because the map was literally half the size. I did a reverse image search and when I found the site - I realized there was no “about” page. The site seemed to be the equivalent of a some rando Redditor map guy’s posting history. On the map one of the sources listed is Wikipedia.
Why would the US need to deploy nukes to a nuclear armed country
My current conspiracy brain is telling me it is because the British government wants to outsource the expenses of their nuclear deterrent. Basically everything in Britain is being piece-meal sold to private capital, so it wouldn’t shock me if this was considered some bold cost-savings measure.
They are truly venal little toads.
As with many things it’s about personal wealth and power. Any “defensive” planning and movement ultimately moves money from the working class.
Because of uk-usa relations, I imagine more money went to the American rich than the British wealthy.
Because any attack that seeks to destroy American missiles will inevitably pull in the UK
I didn’t read the article, I just assumed they’re positioning them againt Iran.
