Response to acorn7817, 29 October 2012 8:47PMDoes anyone know if the old rumor that we cannot fire our own nukes without US permission is true?As long ago as 1980, Air Vice-Marshal Stuart Menaul (described by Plesch as ‘one of the great hawks of the era’), wrote: ‘Britain no longer has an independent nuclear deterrent…strategic considerations as far as Britain is concerned are no longer relevant…it could only be used after authority for the use of nuclear weapons had been conveyed from the President of the United States to SACEUR [the US general at NATO]‘.
