Re: Let's start a nuclear ware in a spiteful tantrum
And here lies the insanity. It's not going to go down that some aggressor country is going to send our ambassador an ultimatum, tied up in ribbons with a wax seal saying '24 hours to hand over all Mary Berry's secret cake ingredients or we will off the lights". But your proportionate response is going to be to threaten to murder millions in a particularly horrible way? And you 'know' who did it - no false flag operations. And you 'know' that they aren't going to say, OK - we lose Tehran - you lose London?
I get Nuke for Nuke (its basically a sick and perverted idea, but understandable. But hyping up other threats to nuclear level is just mad posturing. As you say noone would ever believe that nuclear retaliation would ever be the response to anything below an all out massive attack by a state in a declared act of war. FFS - spend the money doing something rational, idk, maybe spend it disconnecting power stations from the public internet? I expect that would cost half a Trident and actually create useful IT employment.
