The prime minister is to tell the United Nations that he is willing to cut the UK's fleet of Trident missile-carrying submarines from four to three.

news.bbc.co.uk...

The UK government says it has cut its stockpile of Trident warheads from 200 to 160 but many Labour MPs would like it to scrap the weapons altogether.

What the hell!? Why get rid of them?
We need those subs for our own protection, i say we need more, especially with WW3 on our doorstep.

Who said i felt safe with old fatty brown running the country? If someone wants to attack the UK nothing is going to stop them but obviously its nice to know that if something does happen we have something to defend ourselves with even if they are old and probably won't fire anyway

Nuclear missiles are not defense. A couple of subs worth of missles does not add up to MAD. MAD is the only defense, and it isn't.

But I hear you guys are really good at darts. Maybe you could knock down a couple of the incomings with the tridents.

(I know I'm going to catch hell for this, no matter how many winkies I add)

I think intelligence agencies across the world have come on a bit since the days of WW1. I don't think we can just pretend we have 50 subs these days.

We don't need to worry about an attack on our Empire, as we don't have one.

Come on mate, if it's not the Muslims your banging on about, now its the GERMANS. is there anyone we shouldn't fear about. Xenophobia and racism are the things that cause divisions, that cause the wars.

I don't think anyone is specifically worried about The Germans it's just that history teaches us that there is always someone wanting to 'have a go' and it is always wise to be able to defend yourself, something we are incapable of doing at present.

i just believe we have bigger threats to the UK than nuclear attack, which there is no defense against.

It's military doctrine and not all of us have been part of the military and not all of us have a english/american background. So i thought i would be nice to elucidate.....

Just shoot me......

Peace
