Now I'm not a tree hugger by any means........but......
Low down is that trident is a nuclear deterrent, but you can't really use it for much else.
I thought this was the whole point.....that the
only use for nuclear weapons is as a deterrent?
Who remembers Yes Prime Minister?
"With Trident we could obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe."
"I don't want to obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe."
"It's a deterrent."
"It's a bluff. I probably wouldn't use it."
"Yes, but they don't know that you probably wouldn't."
"They probably do."
"Yes, they probably know that you probably wouldn't. But they can't certainly know."
"They probably certainly know that I probably wouldn't."
"Yes, but even though they probably certainly know that you probably wouldn't, they don't certainly know that, although you probably wouldn't, there is no probability that you certainly would!"
