But the collapse of the EU/US relationship means you probably want to plan for the potential of a similar collapse within the European alliances.
- graemep 10mo agoI think the opposite. It straightens incentives to cooperate. IIRC the UK has committed its nuclear weapons to defend NATO countries.
- ceejayoz 10mo ago> IIRC the UK has committed its nuclear weapons to defend NATO countries. So has the US, which is part of why this is so odd of an approach. Technically we’re required to nuke ourselves if we attack Greenland.
- direwolf20 10mo agoJust like the US committed to defend Ukraine?
- rcxdude 10mo agoThe UK buys its nukes from the US, so it's not really independent. (As I recall, the UK doesn't even have free choice on where those nukes are targeted).
- zabzonk 10mo agoIt buys the launch missiles from the US, the submarines and the warheads are home-grown.
