How to Trump-Proof the Transatlantic Alliance
Foreign AffairsAPR 2022
It's clear that Lakenheath is secretly once again becoming a tool in the US' nuclear war machine. The decision by the UK to allow this to happen is both dangerous and irresponsible, and the government should officially refuse to host America's potentially world-ending weapons. This move will senselessly increase tensions in Europe and heighten the prospects of a nuclear confrontation.
The US and the UK are rebuilding their alliance, which was damaged by the UK's decision to leave the European Union in 2016. Despite this, its practical military relationship has remained unchanged. However, even closer cooperation will be required in the future, and both Washington and London must increase resource commitments to defense and security in light of the looming shadow of rising international threats.
