I personally think that allowing ANY B1B's to touch ground in the UK at RAF Fairlfield was a mistake. Matter of fact, the very instant Comrade Starmer said "no, you can't use ourt turf", I'd have said "alrighty then. Fair enough" and immediately started pulling every single piece of American military kit, and any US military personnel, straight out of the UK.
It would all then STAY out of the UK so long as Comrade Starmer and his Politburo were in charge of the place. We don't need any "allies" that won't allow us to operate on their turf. They could see to their own defense without our interference or input in matters there.
Given my history, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'm sure that Hungary or Romania might jump at the chance to host a base or two for us... and they're quite a bit closer to the target zone.
You know.... NATO ALLIES. That Hungary or Romania.
I bet if we looked around a bit, we might find some other potential allies (Turkey, of course, is out of that picture) who might jump at the chance to host a US base and gather in the Big American Dollars it would bring.
Oh, and Chris Murphy? You can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. See that big "D" next to his name? That stands for "Damned liar".
