@Madz_Grant The US treated Britain and France as enemies during Suez.
They didn't openly support us during the Falklands.
They allowed massive support of the IRA during the troubles.
America is a jealous suzerain.
@AlistairB1968@UKDefJournal Are we only buying them to drop tactical nukes? If so, how many active jets do we really need? Plus, we could return those under regular maintenance to service pretty quickly if we had to
