Britain is a lost cause.
We should not allow them access to nuclear weaponry in the future.
Hahaha.
Your a contradictory bloke, Axlrose, you know. You slag Britain off as a recent ‘lost cause’ ‘a great nation fallen’ in one post and then in the next, you bash the UK citng examples in history as far back as WW2, WW1 and the Napoleonic era. So tell me, mate, at what juncture in the Axlrose history of the United Kingdom (now available in paperback) did the UK collapse? Was it about the time that the Beatles split, heralding a surrender to Muslims (trust me folks, Axlrose will find a way to link the two!). Was it when the the ethnic minorities in Britain snuck past the 8% mark, plunging the UK into sectarian warfare, its citizens running to the nuclear fall out shelters?
The brilliance of Axlrose’s theory is that it seems to not be intruded upon by reality at any stage. The presence of the UK as the sold US ally still committing troops on the frontlines in Iraq and Afghanistan is an optical illusion.
We may have bought the trident delivery system from you but believe me we could quite easily have developed an alternative
You DO realise that it was BRITAIN WHO GAVE AMERICA access to its nuclear technology FOR NOTHING in 1940, when America was neutral?...
You slso realise that Britain had its own nuclear weaponry from 1945-1962, when we adopted the Polaris system purely on cost, as the then British weapons systems were costing too much in the then govt’s eyes...
You NEVER have answered my question of why you hate Britain so much. My guess is an Irish-American chip on the shoulder...
Am I wrong?.
Britain DID and COULD have had an independent nuclear deterrent,but THEMSELVES chose to take the cheaper option of co-operation with America.
As a recent brilliant Channel 4(UK) documentary has shown,the British in the 1950’s and early 60’s,despite less funds than the USA or the USSR,built some quite brilliant and revolutionary aircraft,rockets and nuclear launchers.
Britain in fact in those years(1950-1962) built products equal to and in fact SUPERIOR in many ways to even the American or Russian technology...
BUT guess who but the politicians,both Labour and Conservative,decided on several occasions that solo projects were too expensive and we settled for co-operation with America.
Many British ideas in fact then found a home in America and helped boost Anglo-American technology.
Britian DID match America and Russia in the Cold War.
And then the politicians threw it away......idiots,bloody idiots......

america has its own problems. :P
I don’t think the uk or the us are doomed although we are going to have to wisen up and stop acting like a bunch of weeners soon
The UK is a key part of NATO. The principal NATO members with nukes are the U.S. and UK.
