Quote:While acknowledging Trident was a "serious investment", Mr Fallon rejected claims it was a Cold War relic and could be increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks.

The UK, he insisted, was committed to multilateral nuclear disarmament and would reduce its stockpile of nuclear warheads to 180 by the mid-2020s.

Don't agree with this though. We need a lot more -- not less.

I don't know very much about the specifics.

But my uninformed opinion is to scrap our nuclear weapons.

I can accept that unilaterally scrapping all nukes could potentially be a bad idea, even if a world without nuclear weapons would be desirable. Is there something about the Tridents that is especially contentious?

Only that the leader of the opposition opposes it, even though his party's official line is to support trident, other than that, not really.
You may refer to me as "Oh High One."

It doesn't exactly surprise me that you're anti-Trident either.

It costs a fuck ton of money to keep it.

I don't think us having nukes is necessary, desirable or moral, from what (little) I know about it.

And potentially put our country in danger? No thanks.
