trident bombs

[Mrs Steve R]

Without wishing to sound like a pedantic arse but the op should be Trident missiles not bombs.

Page 8 get your act together goslow.

Are you the same poster who commented on the nuclear sub thread?

Then, I'm afraid you are indeed in danger of coming across like whatever it was you said....

Without wishing to sound like an even bigger pedantic arse this is the same thread.

[Tall Midget]

Yeah but do you want to know what the really interesting thing about that is?? absolutely nothing.

I'm making allowances for the fact that your brain must be blown away after all that bonding/mixing that's been going on today.....

Irony of the year 2016.

[Mrs Steve R]

I'm now wondering if some were more confused than others by Gluey's 'Lack of ten-pagers' thread.

[BLUETIT]

Which would you rather, be nuked or starve to death?

Well we all know you won't starve, as you're in the fridge every 5 minutes.

[BLUETIT]

Question, "If we are ALL DEAD, who is going to press the button to send our missiles" ?

Only asking like.

the submarine blokes away at sea. are you really so thick that you havent read all this conversation to kmow how it works pal?

GSTQ

You really need to get out more.

You loaded it for your argument.

We cannot be sure that Trident will 100% prevent us from suffering a nuclear attack.

You also cannot be certain that Trident hasn't/won't stop us being attacked.

"The rest is utterly irrelevant."

You also loaded it for your argument. The truth is we cannot know for certain that our nuclear weapons have prevented any attacks on the UK. However, the fact is that the nuclear option has been exercised twice in 71 years - and only a handful of countries have the bomb. There have been countless wars during the period, although none have carried the possibility of the nuclear powers being invaded. I think that has as much to do with the treaties and pacts that were drawn up post World War 2 as anything else. That's just my opinion.

The Sun once reported that, in the event of a nuclear strike, the BBC would screen "The Sound of Music" to raise the nation's morale. Whilst the PM has her finger on the button, it is doubtful that the BBC have their finger on the button.

Did you miss this line

You also cannot be certain that Trident hasn't/won't stop us being attacked.

You tell me I loaded my response then carry on to tell me exactly what I said.

[Badly Ironed Shirt]

None at the moment, however the world is constantly changing. Just because the threat isn't here right now doesn't mean it won't always be.

I say things usually work themselves out. Only because in general the right options are chosen.

Unfortunately none of us know if that is true, hence the need for it.

No, what I am saying is that you are accusing Eric the Half a Bee of loading his argument when you have done that yourself in this very thread.

So, by your own admission spending billions on Trident won't necessarily prevent massive loss of life.

End of debate I think.

To add to my post, I reckon it's far more certain that, given the history of nuclear attacks, the likelihood that one is carried out will be down to a madman with little regard for anyone bar his inner circle, not through normal warfare. I believe that Trident is far less likely to be a deterrent to an attack than not having Trident is likely to cause an attack.

It won't definitely save lives, but might (the might is the important part you keep ignoring).

In my opinion that's worth spending money on, clearly not your opinion.

I guess human life has different values to both of us.

I guess you thought wrong (not for the first time) .

Do you drink in the day mate?

Do you drink in the day mate?

Oh dear, still attacking the arguer and not the argument. This time you're dressing me up as someone with a drink problem. Great effort -.

You loaded your argument in EXACTLY the same way as Eric. All you have done is state your opinion, just as Eric did. You have no real facts to back up your argument, neither does Eric. We cannot know whether the presence of nukes has stopped the UK from being invaded.

Loading arguments isn't really a problem - everyone does it, even you ;-)
