I'm John Bachelore with Gregory Coppley.

Gregory mentions nuclear weapons.

Well, I've got them.

BBC reporting plans to deploy American nuclear weapons to an air base in Suffolk

have progressed according to US Department of Defense Notice.

I'm Gregory Coppley, editor and publisher of Defense and Foreign Affairs, is here.

It surprised me, Gregory, when this announcement came from the Telegraph some days passed, cited by other

newspapers and now the BBC, a contract to build shelters to protect troops that

would defend storage facilities at R. A. F. Lachan Heath has been awarded. The

document states the work was in preparation for the basis upcoming nuclear mission.

I'm guessing these are tactical nukes, that means small yield.

The reporting also includes the fact that this is the first deployment of nuclear weapons in 15 years.

I'm not quite sure what that timeline means, but in any event, there's been much talk of tactical nuclear weapons by the Kremlin over this last year and a half of a fight in Ukraine.

There's been suggestion there might be tech nukes at Kaliningrad, the exclave on the Baltic

Sea. There's certainly talk of nuclear weapons, we can presume

a small yield, deployed to Belarus.

How do you regard this announcement by the BBC?

No confirmation from the DoD that the US is sending

techniques to the United Kingdom.

Is this something to counter Russia is this because there's a whole in NATO why is this happening now

Well the the nuclear escalation we've been seeing over the last two years has been an escalation of words

and these are you know if you like wolf warrior diplomacy Russian style
