Is Britain preparing for a nuclear war?

– International News – Tasnim News Agency, the German newspaper “Stuttgarter Nakhreshten” wrote in an article: After 15 years, the United Kingdom will return the American nuclear weapons to its soil. It establishes itself. There is a growing fear among the British that they will be involved in World War III.

This article goes on to say: It is not enough that more and more politicians and military officials in England are rapidly becoming aware of the danger of war. They warn about the growth. The news that US nuclear weapons are to be stored on British soil for the first time in 15 years is now causing further concern. These are said to be B61-12 precision bombs with an explosive power at least three times that of the Hiroshima bomb.

As expected, the British government has responded to reports by London’s Daily Telegraph newspaper claiming to be from the Pentagon. received, does not comment. But no one in military circles in this country doubts this information.

Keith Hudson, secretary general of the anti-nuclear weapons organization Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), makes this criticism and says: We We are returning to a situation where we are all once again on the front lines of a nuclear war. Demonstrations are now planned against this deployment of nuclear weapons. CND warns that the fabled ‘doomsday clock’ regularly displayed by nuclear scientists now shows 90 seconds before midnight.

The anti-nuclear weapons movement considers such preparation as a kind of preparation for suicide. According to a recent Princeton University study, an exchange of nuclear attacks between Russia and the West would kill 90 million people within four and a half hours. Not to mention the painful deaths of many other victims in the aftermath. Many Britons are completely baffled by the sense of inevitability that some of their politicians convey to them. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps has declared in his own style that the post-war era is finally over, while his countrymen find themselves in a “new pre-war world”. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron also sees all the warning lights “flashing red” on the global dashboard. Military and defense experts say that the current situation is “a flashback from 1939”. How England entered World War I unprepared. The sense of threat from all sides has led to dramatic calls for an increase in armaments in the UK and a heated debate over new conscription. In some ways it is more dangerous than in 1914 or 1939 because many countries now have nuclear weapons and a nuclear war can start without a pre-determined decision. Even misunderstandings can lead to the start of mutual nuclear attacks.

The Atlantic Council think tank also says that there is no shortage of such a conflict. Kahal Milmo, a military commentator, expressed concern about this and said: “Rarely before” the potential for confrontation between nuclear powers has been so high. According to him, nuclear war seems less and less unthinkable.
