So much of our intelligence and military systems are shared or reliant on the US – if it becomes the enemy, it is already inside the gates, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
To say nothing of the wider hypothetical conflict, wouldn’t the US bases themselves be trivial to overrun by UK land forces?
They’re air bases and not fortified from attack by the host country. If anything the easy opportunity to disable their aircraft while getting our hands on any undamaged kit could present a minor tactical advantage.
For this reason they’d surely vacate before turning nasty.
