Re: Trident

I would happily get rid of Trident, and for a while it seemed as though that was an increasingly popular view.
Since then though we have less stability in Europe, a seemingly more aggressive Russia, and a USA with an erratic hothead in charge who apparently doesn't value NATO.
As such I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that support for Trident was on the way back up.
Do any of the conspiracy theorists here think those things are related ?

I'm just glad the missile wasn't armed or we could have nuked America!

If we ever need to fire a "live one", chances are, none of us will be around to see if it worked or not anyway.
