I accept HKFC's point that it's not really a defence of the UK, as we would already be doomed, so there's nothing to defend. But it would be a defence of what's left of the world. Agreed.

I suggest that's too difficult, and why we were unable to do the same to German leaders. The original decision? Did we kill one single German in the whole of WWII who had anything to do with the original decision on invading Poland? I guess you wouldn't have gone to war with Germany, as the...

A scenario that would make no sense is for Russia to destroy the UK with nukes, receive no retaliation, and then do nothing more. That would make no sense, of course they would then attack other countries. They wouldn't have to nuke all other countries, they'd simply tell them to surrender and...

I'm aware of that, I live with a Russian, but if the leaders of Russia are happy to destroy us and we don't retaliate, then they will destroy every other country on earth, maybe except China (purely because China have nukes) until they have complete global domination. And once they'd done that...

Not at all, he didn't answer the question I asked you. He said 'what's the point' (which is one point of view), but I was asking you to explain the poorly phrased poll, not whether there'd be any point in retaliating.

If the UK is whiped out by Russia, then I'd want humanity to continue without those that caused the nuclear war. It's possible the US and the UK could get wiped out, but there would still be a lot of good countries left that deserve to be free from those that started the war.

Well we certainly should be able to, in the even that we were attacked. Because they built them. I don't know if that applies to our land based missiles as well as those in subs though. Although the US maintain Trident, I find it difficult to believe that we have no ability to fire a single...

So if nuclear weapons were fired at the UK and our leaders waited for conclusive proof that had happened, and instructed our subs to retaliate, then you would define that as us causing a nuclear holocaust?
