This is an actual picture of a Trident launch. Not Photoshopped |
- Either it will be used or it will be not used.
- If it is used, human civilisation can kiss its ass a fond farewell. Everything worthwhile, including the reason to live, dies. In short, Omnicide.
- If Trident is not used, about £130,000,000,000 will have been spent on nothing - money that could have been spent on creating good jobs for everyone for many many years.
- Some will say say that the £130billion will have been well spent because it is maintaining peace through deterrence.
- It is true that Trident raises the threshold at which politicians decide that they are bored with talking to each other and decide to kill their subjects instead.
- But although possession of WMD does raise the threshold for war, it does not absolutely close the door on war.
- See 2 above.
- Trident's effect in raising the threshold for war is neutralised by its effect in stimulating nuclear proliferation - i.e. by making nations like Iran think that they need a deterrent of their own.
- Since there is a chance it may be used, it is illogical to possess Trident, for the reason set out here.
- Therefore the Coalition Government, in the middle of its programme of bone crunching attacks on the British people in the name of poverty, is about to spend £1billion of taxpayer's money on an illogical, highly dangerous enterprise
- And there is nothing that we can do about it.
- Or is there?
