We dont want to use the supernukes but by Jingo if we have to I want to be directly under the bomb when it goes off...

FFS the cold war ended because of nuclear weapons, go and learn some history.

Do you really think it's a good idea to not maintain them when nutters like North Korea and Iran hold them ?

Errm

wouldn't it be a better idea to infiltrate North Korea and set them off in the silos?

Off you go then

Not the easiest country to infiltrate, or visit for that matter.

Good heavens, I wasn't volunteering

Like Blair, I don't mind people dying in my name, provided it's not me doing the dying..........

Yes because so far NK and Iran have not invaded anybody - the problem is that

1) US millitary companies will get the lions share of the 60 billion (inital estimate)

2) They will have dual controls over the weapons meaning we could not use them against Saudia Arabia or client states of the US - and worse what if the US was taken over by a Nazi style regeime ?

3) I am not advocating disarnament - or current aresenal can more than oblitarate any state we choose, with the consent of the US - but this proposal is to extend capablities of weapons of mass destruction way beyond any rational justiifaction - apart from boosing the coffers of the millitary industrial complex.

1)If you can find a UK millitary company who could produce them, I suggest you write to the government

2) Why on earth would 'we' use them against the Saudis or the US etc ? I am not sure what you mean by 'taken over', the Nazis were elected.

1) What is wrong with our current nuclear arsenal ?

2) (a) Challenge of UK interests - Saudi invasion of Iraq/Kuwait/Israel by fundamentalists

(b) US Coup d'etat

I thought it ended because the Soviets were bancrupt after fighting the US trained taliban/terrorists in Afghanistan. Not meaning to be rude Lucy but it strikes me you have learnt a version of history. The Neo Cons would love to think they brought down the USSR but it's not strictly true well unless it's history written by a neo con of course.
