Unless there was some other NATO country with over 200 nuclear weapons.

If we give up our nuclear weapons, NATO security will still be assured. ... ... ... Just so long as the US doesn't elect a president who's basically Putin's puppet, with a massive boner for Russia, who has repeatedly talked about abandoning NATO because many countries aren't paying their share of the bill.

I CBA with that nonsense. As for Israel - Hamas have a death wish, they want everyone to die.

It matters to me, wanting to scrap trident is the absolute #1 hard no, in my book. I'll never vote for anyone who puts that in their manifesto.

And I’d like to spend £0 on defence every year, not need a military at all and spend that whole budget on nurses for orphans with diseases. Sadly that’s not really a viable solution to the real worlds problems.

You clearly have no understanding of any military principles, that much is obvious. You’re just guessing with Ukraine and their nukes. The reality is that post-soviet Ukraine was desperately poor and couldn’t have afforded to maintain a nuclear arsenal in anything close to a state of safety and readiness. Germany weren’t allowed anything with that capability post WW2, in fact they didn’t exist as a country at all until the collapse of the Soviet Union. West Germany was home to half the US military, so they had a nuclear deterrent by proxy, as did Italy. Spain is just too far from Russia for either of them to really give two sh*ts about each other.

I literally can’t think of anything in the history of humanity which could be more of a deterrent than a big red button that turns your enemy’s entire country into radioactive ash in 0.0001 seconds. How anyone can call that, "not a deterrent," I cannot fathom.

Cost to develop, build and maintain. Yes, they are. Have you listened to the PM of Estonia recently? Proxy wars, not actual wars. Just to be clear, so I’m not misinterpreting your point; you’re advocating for nuclear disarmament, now with the world as it is today?

TBH, you’ve only got to look at the long list of nuclear powers who’ve gone ever gone to war with each other and you can see her point.

I’m prejudiced against seventh day adventists, if that helps. 🤷‍♂️

Very obviously yes, I don’t know why there’s any debate on this. He’s achieved (and earned) far more with Liverpool than he ever would here, I’ve no idea why people think that’s somehow on par with being slightly more popular with strangers on the internet.

And Fuller gets hit for 21, complete with a shocker of a misfield.

Not bowling well today, giving them a couple of easy boundaries every over.

*according to random Twitter accounts. If it were true, I wouldn't be against it.

That and the turquoise and black striped one from the MoPe season were two of my favourites.

Agree, it’s literally my least favourite in my lifetime.

What? Obafemi, N’Lundulu and Mara. Where would they be without Walcott’s guidance?

It shows that there’s no link between bringing back ageing has beens from a decade ago and any actual benefit on the pitch. That’s the non-sequitur here. Just blindly saying, “he’s a great, experienced guy to have in the dressing room,” doesn’t actually mean anything.

All stuff we said about Walcott last time and look how that all worked out.

I'm pretty sure our actual coaches have done that.

Well that’s super but it’s nothing to do with what I said.

Decent win in the end but as has been said, another poor performance from the openers and over the PP. Vince I’ll give some slack for that direct hit but McD couldn’t stay in for three balls once again.

I doubt there’s a footballer alive who would need the help of Adam Lallana to figure out that moving from Southampton to Liverpool is good for your career. I know some of them are astronomically dense, but even they will have agents explaining the situation to them, with pretty drawings and coloured crayons.

I used to rate him but he’s not done much for a few years. I think the only hypothetical I’d take him on would be if we could sell and recoup some value from Mara and bring in KI on a free to replace him.
