A statement from the office of Prime Minister Kier Starmer indicates that the fighters are capable of carrying a B61-12 guided nuclear bomb. Also, this statement shows that American nuclear weapons will be placed on the territory of the UK after a long break. We remind you that the nuclear weapons were removed from there by the Americans in 2008.

Unfathomably stupid UK government behaviour as usual. Sure lets reward the US for being a predatory inhumane warcrime fanclub by giving them lots of money and making ourselves dependent on them.
