Looks too much like a pistol grip.

WE NEED GUN CONTROL!

lol

the west wont even point a gun at the invaders..

you think they would ever push the button?

I have NO DOUBT that if someone launched a suprise nuclear attack on ANY western nation (including us) we would NOT respond.

Guaranteed.

Odd article in this day and age.

What? They could not find the triggers for a Muslim’s suicide bomb?
Or the writer-editor want to associate triggers with A-bombs “since we are just as bad as the Muslims” trick?
Or because Trump may be elected with HIS hand “on the trigger”?

Am I paranoid enough about the “wit and wisdom” of the international press corpse?

Looks like the trigger guard was added as an afterthought.

I wonder if each submarine actually has two of these, physically separated, that have to be simultaneously activated.

It probably won’t work, and he’ll end up having to put in a trouble ticket with the IT shop.

The good news for the enemies is the button was built by Lucus Electric.

Thank you for the reminder that we need to get the nukes and the subs that deliver them — away from Britain.

Or else they will soon they will be the Atomic Arsenal of Allah.

“We have to act on the orders of our political lords and masters.”
I am glad I live in the United States so I do not have to use those kind of words!
