As the threat from Russia grows, the UK may need to reconsider its stance on tactical nuclear weapons to maintain deterrence. The absence of such capabilities could embolden adversaries like Putin, potentially leading to greater instability in Europe.

Forbes: Northern Lights Forecast: ‘Strong’ Geomagnetic Storm May Bring Aurora Borealis To These 15 States
A geomagnetic storm is expected to disrupt Earth's magnetic field, enhancing the visibility of the northern lights across several northern U.S. states on Wednesday night, according to NOAA. The storm follows a recent coronal mass ejection from the sun, with a Kp index of five indicating auroral activity.
The best chances to view the northern lights will be in Alaska and Canada, with some visibility in parts of the Midwest and other northern states. NOAA recommends finding high vantage points away from light pollution for optimal viewing between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
