According to American strategic logic 50 North Korean nukes are a mortal threat to America while 550 European nukes run by the UK and France mean Europe can't defend itself

@aphclarkson.bsky.social do we have any good idea of the level of independent usefulness of the British nukes, given that they come on rented US missiles?
One should not be overly worried. Russia’s air defense is degraded, Putin nuked most of his country economically already and there are high chances that enough of these puppies reach their target if you just tie them to a remote controlled Cessna.
Given that Prigohzin had virtually no resistance in his failed coup (failed because he gave up), I think it's safe to say that Russia itself has a massive underbelly. Drones have made it past their borders, missiles would too.
Russia only has a few cities that matter. Even 100 would make them think twice to launch any first strike. That's the whole point no? Even if the persons launching were insane they would not make a difference between mostly fucked and totally fucked.

In any event it's unlikely the US is going to demand the return of the SSBN platforms
(brrrrrzapppp....)
Hold that thought; I smell something burning in the kitchen.
