In the case of a state funeral, in Britain France or the USA, the 3 leaders capable of returning fire in the ase of a nuclear threat would all be in one place. This is a ridiculous risk. It means that a hypersonic missile fired under radar could annihiate our ability to access and make use of the codes thuse rendering our Nuclear response impotent. That would free any attacking nation to be able to strike the west at leisure with basically no reply. If you aren’t Britain France or America, you really can win a nuclear war as the Mutual Assured Destructin option has been subverted.
We need a designated second nuclear code carrier. A person imbued with the ability to launch should the Prime Minister be killed or rendered innoperative.
We also need to specifically address this in a new movie or piece of propaganda, perhaps we could have James Bond called upon in a movie to protect the designated second. We need to have the news media report on this and we need to properly investigate the risks and suggest alternatives to this outcome to protect the integritty of the nuclear deterrant. There is a right wing saying, when a person tells you who they are believe them.
Putin has threatened Britain with nuclear war. He has told us who he is. It is time for us to tell him who we are. You do not threaten the UK and have everything go well. We are defended.
Sadly right now, our nuclear deterrance has holes in it big inough to sink HMS Britania. We need to war game the nuclear option relentlessly and plug all gaps.
As I understand it, we have a process in place for this right now. Each Prime Minister gives Trident an order which is something like “In the event that nuclear war happens and you cannot contact me, I (don’t) want you to destroy the enemy.”
I think that we all know that Kier would never give the go-ahead to launch but that is by-the-by.
It’s a cold kind of laugh I enjoyed as my gut clinched a littel further as we pose no nuclear threat whatsoever and that means we have no nuclear deterrant. The fact is, if a foreign agency or nation wanted to nuke NATO freely, they only need to get All of the nuclear members leaders together and strike. Or wait for King Charles or Joe Biden to die. The code system is a tactical mistake.
