Everyone harping on about Corbyn being unelectable due to his stated position of not being able or willing to sanction the use of nuclear weapons.

if we have to use them then we have already lost - a pre-emptive strike opens us up for retaliation - massively so and if it is in retaliation.

are we honestly in a better position having them than not - i do not think we are anymore.

someone has to be first to give them up. Nukes are just the most cost effective way of creating a very big bang.

now that the targets are so hardened and need so much more force to remove them does anyone think realistically that they will be used?

lets give them up and be better neighbours in the world instead....
war is not glorious or great or noble, it is horrific.
better to not do it
