We need to kick them the fuck out.

What should we do if we asked the USA to leave their bases and they carried on as though we had not expressed any desire for them to leave?

We're a forward supply base for Israel

Menwith Hill is not far from me.

God forbid, If push comes to shove, are they going to use these bases to support Russia?

juniej.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Going to? Whatever unfolds is very likely already underway.

What is the point of Keir Starmer allowing the continued military presence of the US in the UK if they will not step up when needed?
Trump says British ‘can take care of themselves’ in Ukraine.
Britain and France want guarantees that Washington will back up a peacekeeping force after the war.

And don't forget the American finger on the Trident button.

Our noe former allies need to remove US military bases from their soil, immediately.

In France there is not a single one US military base

We had a base near us, now closed thank heavens, but we always knew when something was about kick off because A10 tankbusters would be using our little valley as a practice range. Horrifying.

I always felt we were at more risk from a drunken GI driver than a nuclear bomb. Times change.

my fav plane.. Mildenhall was always where i could see one.

I've been saying this for years. It's all ok when you are friends and allies. It's a risk when things start to kick off.

Even more not announced or top secret

Anyone living near those sites need to keep an eye on what goes on there. More people? Fewer? New equipment/buildings? They are no longer there to protect western democracy.

Notably, all but one are around London. Like they're only really interested in preserving folks from one city

Thanks Duck Duck Go AI for lying right to my face

Don't forget those that don't wear uniforms and aren't troops but operate from RAF flagged bases.

Now’s not the time to discuss this.
Trident is a more important principle.

As long as those nukes - being a US invention - don’t require trump’s permission to fire.

That’s never once been satisfactorily answered for me.

I live near one, and it worries me to death, pending recent events. I can tell you this - I've been hearing a lot of BIG jets, high above the cloud cover, late at night. I have also heard large groups of fighter jets, flying in formation. I've felt that something's up, for months. It is terrifying.

lycopersiconomicon.bsky.social•20 hours ago

It was enough to put me ill at ease, since long before the recent discord broke out. Every time I mentioned it to people, they told me I was overreacting, that it's just normal exercises. I've never heard so much air traffic noise, from this base.

lizcrosbie.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Lots of training missions here too.

mamaarth.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Lots here on the west Wales coast too.

lycopersiconomicon.bsky.social•7 hours ago

You and I are probably neighbours!

mamaarth.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Possibly. I'll be following your tomato posts, my chap pretends he can grow them. No greenhouse though.
