The Russians are best friends of the new Pres who presumeably has the final word over whether we can launch 'our' 6 nukes. I know we have a few more but assume like the rest of the UK they have post it notes stuck on them with some form of excuse as to why they don't work
We are trying to suck up to not blow up China (even though we mortally offended them over the power station debacle)
We are not an enemy of North Korea (indeed we seem to be trying to emulate it as far as isolation is concerned)
So just who are these missiles targeted at-I mean if we do not know who to point them at does it matter if they go wrong -especially if they were to fall on mainland Europe.
Its irrelevant, the UK maintains Trident as its ultimate deterrent against any actual, perceived or forthcoming enemy. Of course if you are saying the deterrent should be dispensed with altogether that's a different matter altogether.
