For what reason are this nation alowed to possess atomic wapons?
*According to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: "…both nuclear-weapon states and non-nuclear-weapon states, “to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.”
Are there any good reasons what so ever that Britain should possess a nuklear arsenal?
UK have signed the NPT like most states, but have they even made one small attempt to disarm ?
Short answer: We can rely on UK to have rational people in charge of the government so that they won’t let nukes fly at non-necessary targets.
I’m a Yank, and I could sleep well if the UK had a million nukes. With France, I might have to twitch a bit before falling asleep. Iran? Terrifies me…
Does the OP feel threatened that the UK will become a despotism with a fanatical leader lobbing nukes everywhere?
I always assumed that the British had nukes so that if there’s ever a country that needs nuking, but the US does not want to take any flak for it, it can simply order Britain to do it.
Dude, I know you are trying to be funny, but that’s simply bullshit. Just because the UK is our ally, and the best friend we have in the world, doesn’t mean we order them around. Both countries are on the same page as far as foreign policy goes…

Oh, I see. Thank you for explaining that to me.
