If the UK got rid of its nukes then we'd just be defenceless against Russia, China, and even the US if the US decides they don't value their old allies (which seems to be the case these days).

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

What is this Tankie bullshit?
We aren't the aggressors forcing Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia to ramp up defence. Russia and China are, as well as the US signalling how unreliable and ally they are.
Russia threatens to nuke this country on a weekly basis, carried out nuclear assassinations on our soil, and brainless tankies like this one is blaming us for it?
Actually was russia and trump. They just reacted to an increasingly hostile environment. It's a shame it came to this, but I don't blame them.
That's a shit excuse
