Neither do I ... tho' it ain't really none of my business; the brass to maintain this risible deterrent don't come outa my taxes. It certainly isn't deterring ISIS ... but the money wasted on nukes, or some of it, could be spent on building conventional forces, particularly rapid response. Let's face it, if it comes to a nuclear war those nukes of yours are irrelevant. The world will be so badly [deleted]ed over that an extra few megatons ain't gonna make a blind bit of difference. The frogs have been scaling back their Force de Dissuasion since '96. Maybe it's time. Maybe Corbyn has this one right. The apologizing to Iraq thingy seems kinda dumb. What does one say? "Hey guys, we [deleted]ed up big time. Sorry that we turned your country into a massive pile of shiite."
