  • I think that this is missing the point a little - we lease all the nukes from the USA, they have an (in munition terms) very short shelf-life so there's a constant service/update shuffle going on to maintain "in-date" war heads.

    So it's not independent from that perspective.

    Secondly, we need permission from the US of A to fire the damn things - and given that we'd likely be firing them at Putin does anyone think that that permission is likely to be given by Putins favourite leader?

  • Hang on... I knew a lot of Trident tech is USA made (not all obv. work is done locally so there is some UK benefit) but we don't even own the nukes?

    WTF bullshit is this. It even fails from the "look at MY big rocker" viewpoint :/
