the stinking enigma Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 She knew about the malfunction. Two weeks before she gave her backing to renewing trident. The evasion of the queation is the far more important thing to me.

woolley Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Why would she? In days gone by you'd never even have known there had been a malfunction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmanx Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Its only a deterrent until someone else pulls the trigger first... After that they are as useful for "protection" as a wet paper tissue. By that point its about retaliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Once the deterrent value has gone and we are all about to die from a russian first strike it seems a little petty to me to kill a load of other innocents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Its only a deterrent until someone else pulls the trigger first... After that they are as useful for "protection" as a wet paper tissue. By that point its about retaliation. But someone else isn't likely to pull the trigger first given we have the deterrent. Come on, you got half way to understanding the point.

Isn't likely is not the same as won't. Also a deterrent is useless if it is destroy beyond use before you can use it. Why do you think there are terms like "first strike capabilities"?
