Britain is in a state of flux at the moment.

It has no leadership. Stained by Epstein and corruption. The Royal Family can only duck.

Politically, there is extremism.

Euthanasia is being debated.

We look on the world stage and cannot see America as an ally.

We are morally and socially bankrupt.

Let us hope that new leaders with insight will emerge.

They have done so in the past: Disraeli, Gladstone, Lloyd George, Churchill, and Attlee.

We have no choice but to see them as an ally. We have to ask them in order to use our own nukes…not that I think we should be throwing nukes about.

@Vengabus I agree - I would say no-one should ever use nuclear weapons again. (I refuse that US slang "nuke").

Also, it was worse than the UK having to ask the US permision to use ours.

It was not reciprocal.

During the Cold War the USA used the British Isles and presumably other parts of Europe as a potential launch-pad, but the agreements excluded, or at least did not include, the hosts' permission to launch them.

@ArishMell they’re good at taking advantage and dominating (politically speaking, I’ve nothing against Americans themselves)

@Vengabus Indeed they are.... And President Trump has made no secret he believes in that, by his own statements and actions.
