Corbyn on Trident is terrifying. Missiles are in air & inbound yet he wouldn't press button. Means we'd have no deterrent under him as PM.

Missiles inbound means that deterrent has failed.
Nope. Mutually assured destruction is basis of deterrent. Enemy has to know we'd retaliate and can do so from subs at safely hidden at sea.

It's having bloody difficult/mad leaders that causes problems. Best keep them out of power so they don't break deals & upset friends

Enemy has to think we'd retaliate & therefore never pre-emptively launch their missiles. Once they have done so MAD as a policy has failed.

Nope. Deterrent means not attacking first you mince head. Mutually assured destruction means we are all destroyed. Not a world I want

Only a madman would actually use nuclear weapons. You cannot deter a madman (as recent atrocities attest to). This is not the Cold War.

No. Missiles inbound clearly means that your deterrent has failed. Also, deterrent from whom? What exactly is the scenario you have in mind?

Rubbish. Most countries don't have such weapons and haven't been invaded
