Grow up.

 

Who do you trust with the big red button for our nuclear arsenal, Boris Johnson or corbyn? And why?

I'm quite fully grown thank you, although I must admit that sometimes my sense of humour fails to leave the playground, especially with those who fail to actually click on posted links, due to their origin.

 

As for who to trust with the Red button, the only one i'd trust Jezza with, is the one on a bus.

So you’d trust a serial liar, and frankly a bumbling bufffoon with our nuclear weapons more than someone who would give great pause in doing so? Boris can’t mop a floor ffs.

 

Don’t get me wrong, Thornberry was fair game with the nuclear question, but given Boris is currently holding back a report about colluding with the Russians, would you be interested in what the Tory defence minister has to say if asked (I’ve no idea who it is this week)? Would you trust the answer, given the multitude of lies coming out of Tory high command this week?

The trouble is that great pause could mean we are all wiped out because Corbyn is wondering what to do next.

and whats the best that can happen if he doesnt pause? we wipe them out as we also get wiped out? On the other hand having a blithering idiot on the button could mean we wipe somebody else out without needing to?

Does anyone know the LAbbour party policy regards Brexit?

It seems that even senior mebers of the party don't.

 

 

If they can't get their ducks in a row on this, what chance have they of forming a Government!

 

Hang on, Boris Johnson gets in a muddle over his Brexit deal and contradicts his own ministers:

Ah, so we launch all our warheads (circa 120) before Russia launches all theirs (circa 6500), and destroy them first in a pre-emptive strike, or perhaps launch them, killing millions of civilians, just because they started it.

 

There's an argument that the country needs a grown up, realistic discussion about nuclear weapons. Wont be during this election!

I don't think you understand how it all works as that is basically an impossible scenario. It's the top military Generals who would advise the PM of the day what they think should be done so will already know what targets will be hit. The PM does not get to choose what those targets will be as that is done but his generals but he does get to choose whether to hit them or not. Hesitation could mean whether any incoming missiles would be wiped out or not.

You could have just stopped there. If we are considering launching our nuclear weapons then the UK will be a smoking crater before Boris could say "whoops!"

The UK alone does not have enough capacity to win if it attempted to launch a preemptive strike against Russia so to attempt to do so would be suicide.
