I watched Simon Weston on GMB this morning, its 40 years since the Falklands task force set-off

He was asked about his thoughts on the Ukraine and basically said with Russia's 4500 Intercontinental missiles we can not do anything else incase it escalates the situation , which we know is where we stand, but it got me thinking, the Russian Tanks / Heavy artillery, Air Force and generally the Russian war machine is pretty crap, what's to say his missiles are any good ? ? ? are we being bluffed with the red button ?? ?

oh for the Star Wars Program ( SDI ) to have actually have been continually funded and completed
