    Yes, that's really rather the point.

    What a coincidence, that's exactly how the Americans took the nuclear tech that we (and the Canadians) contributed to - against our will.

    Only if you get an invoice. They took it. Nice try though.

    A sale of 0 also doesn’t pay off any debt, as you claimed.

    You should read both of your links more closely. Both these plus the Wiki links show the clear trail - the U.K. provided cooperation during the wartime development, the US then stiffed the Brits (and Canadians) just after the war by making the tech the US property, and then in the 1950’s the USA offers to sell their nukes to the U.K. as long as the U.K. reconfigured it’s defence.

    In no instance does it show what you claim - that the U.K. ever sold nuclear tech to the USA.

    Which, of course, calls into question the validity of the rest of your post.

    Do you have a cite for that? I have a vague recollection of the USA dropping something on Japan (twice) during the war, so it seems odd that we should sell them something that they already had.
