Well we have had lots of wars, Falklands, 2 Gulf wars and many more. When has a nuclear capability ever been of any use? We buy the technology from USA of course, that makes us their best friend and gets the PM a seat at the top table. That is it. Meanwhile our soldiers have to fight wars...
That is probably the only part I agree with. What is the point of the billions spent on the nuclear deterrent? Can we nuke Syria, Irag or Iran? What is the point?
How can you declare that you are an independent nation and not have control of your currency? You do not have an army, Embassys or foreign influence. Have they really thought about this?
