Allies lobby Biden to prevent shift to ‘no first use’ of nuclear arms

Warmongeres Britain, France and Germany in Europe, and Japan and Australia in the Indo-Pacific are lobbying Joe Biden not to change American policy on the use of nuclear weapons amid concern the president is considering a “no first use” declaration that could undermine long-established deterrence strategies aimed at Russia and China.
American policy towards the use of nuclear weapons has, since the cold war, remained intentionally vague, suggesting the US could use them preemptively and allowing allies in both Europe and Asia a clear sense of protection under the American “nuclear umbrella”.
The “sole purpose” or “no first use” declarations increase stability by clarifying circumstances when nuclear weapons would be used

A planning application recently submitted to a local borough council in England by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) reveals that the highly controversial Menwith Hill spy base is due to be significantly expanded.
The proposed extension will see a ‘communications container compound’ installed “towards the north of the establishment, outside of the existing base operations area.”
“Development across the site is wide-ranging, comprising a mix of residential, commercial and operational structures set towards the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales on the edge of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,” a ‘design and access statement’ submitted by the MoD declares.
