“If the US pulled the plug on the UK nuclear program, Trident would be immediately unable to fire, making the submarines little more than expensive, undersea follies.”
Yeah, that’s the reason why I said that the UK doesn’t actually have nukes. They have all the expenses of trying to maintain a nuclear programme, but with none of the effective deterrence.
Remember the Trashfuture bit where Milo argued that the UK is the only actually right wing country. Every other right wing project spends massive amounts of money on their millitary and their police, but the UK is so ideologically committed to austerity that they even did it to their imperial peacekeepers. Turns out they even did austerity to their nuclear programme, which is definitely a unique strategy.
actually, its bad to say that the organisation of british colonial subjects is led by britain

The Indigenous Australians volunteered to be massacred, sweaty 💅😤
ukraine joining the last crumbling remnant of the british empire in TYOOL 2024 would be extremely funny.
Ukraine: please can we have NATO membership?
Britain: but we already have NATO membership at home
The NATO membership at home:
liberal imperialists are so funny. they want all the spoils of empire with none of the moral culpability.
Bruh that would have started world war 3
Britain doesn’t have nuclear weapons so it’ll be a quick one at least.

Britain decided that nukes were too expensive to maintain, so their GPS-targetting system doesn’t work without express permission from the Americans.

I just realized this is like the “democratic peoples republic” thing that libs accuse communist states of doing, except it’s actually fake this time
