went nuclear they could drop one right on his head in minutes.
This is how the Trident deterrent works.
If the USA or UK is nuked, the standing orders on the submarines are to totally destroy Russia.
Those orders have already been signed and are in the submarines.
The submarines themselves are virtually undetectable and no-one knows where they are, so they can't be pre-emptively destroyed.
So, Putin should know that firing a nuke signs his own death warrant.
But he may be a touch giddy right now.
Um, bit of an overstatement of the British capability?
