The UK has ~200 or more nukes. But it's scrimping on building a railway. And it's military is chronically short of money. Just how well do you think those nukes work? Think about the PM. Just how ready is his to engage with a nuclear strike as part of the job.
I think nukes have been a paper tiger for a long time.
