To be honest, scrapping nuclear weapons is a ridiculous idea. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a nuke-free world, but it needs to be done slowly. Both America and Russia need to cut back, and we need to make sure that our enemies do not get their hands on them.
I mean, I just wouldn't feel safe if North Korea had nukes and we didn't. If it does come down to nuclear war (and I hope it doesn't), I want to know that we can destroy any country that attacks us.
A flaw in your argument is how do you know that a friend today ( with nuclear weapons )will not be an enemy in the future, armed with those weapons?
Anyway, if it came to a nuclear war, both sides would be destroyed.
Another reason why a growing number of people in the UK have fallen out of love with nuclear weapons is the fact that they gobble up vast sums of gdp ( in the hope that they'll never need to be used! ) and that money could be put to better use.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
