MPs vote to renew Trident weapons system

[Excited Penguin]

Patrols only started in 1994. Now we're going to spend 205 billion UKP to replace it.

Think what that 205 billion could do if it was invested in research and education. But no, we'll spend it on a useless weapon of mass destruction because it helps some politicians in Westminster wave their cocks around and feel better about their jobs.

The 205 billion or the equivalent could do great things, but is getting rid of the stockpile a viable global policy option right now?

Why wouldn't it be? Aside from rogue states acquiring them and remaining the only ones to have them, I see no potential downside. And this one could be managed if the necessary effort went into it, I imagine.
