The UK was, and still is, a nuclear power so I would argue it's closer to super than non.
Plus, there is a great quote about the US vs the UK regarding nuclear weapons:
- Everyone respects the US because they were the biggest NATO military and had nuclear weapons
- Everyone feared the UK because due to their island mentality, if push came to shove they wouldn't hesitate to use those nuclear weapons whereas the US was seen as forever hesitant to use them again.
- pjc50 6y agoOfficial doctrine is that they're a second strike weapon; if they're used, then that implies that most of the UK's major cities are already smoking craters.
