I take it that you are referring to the following recent reverts

2. UK relations with USA regarding UK radar stations supporting "son of Star Wars".  

2. UK relations with USA regarding UK radar stations supporting "son of Star Wars".  

I think I should start a separate article on this. The bare facts are that the missile defense system designed to put down incoming (Russian)ICBMs requires a radar picket outside this "umbrella"- which is in the UK. Consequently, should the Russians ever wish to do this the first thing they have to do is hit the radar station. An good comparison is the role played by HMS Sheffield in the Falklands- which was sunk by the Argentine Air Force. Now I do not blame the Americans for this - their actions are entirely rational, (should they wish to carry out such a program), but what motivates Gordon Brown's Government has never been stated. Unless there is a some kind of pressure or bribe involved a willingness to invite a pre-emptive strike on your own country for no apparent reason is almost beyond parody. Hence my contribution was really entirely serious but peerhaps a separate entry would clarify this.
