Plenty of countries don’t have nuclear weapons and aren’t in any kind of additional threat though. Makes no difference as far as I can see.
"My views on nuclear weapons are well known. I want to achieve a nuclear-free world through multilateral disarmament through the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.” - Jeremy Corbyn
Utter horror of a man.

The only reason that Putin did what he did to Ukraine was because they gave up their nuclear weapons. Do you seriously believe he would have invaded if they had kept them. If you do then welcome to the Corbyn school of Defence Studies…..
U.K. isn’t next to Russia and there’s no chance of Putin invading. He's likely happy what’s going on in the U.K.

He has done more than enough nuclear sabre rattling. But the question was would he have invaded Ukraine if they still had theirs, and you know the answer…….
The Initial point was about Abbott and Corbyn talking about ditching U.K. nuclear weapons. Ukraine is a totally different subject.

Nuclear weapons can be used as a threat. Why do you think the USA and France have them, Russia isn’t likely to wander over their borders any minute. They are a deterrent from a physical threat, a political threat and an economic threat. Giving ours up, unilaterally as Corbyn wanted, would be an act of gross stupidity. But hey, Abbott & Corbyn, I nearly wrote Costello but they had far more sense……

Except he specifically said on an interview I listened to that he would get rid of Trident and the UK's nuclear weapons.
Not if everyone gave up theirs together.
Utterly naive I'm afraid.

hahaha…remember also this piece of nonsense about building the nuclear subs to protect jobs but not having any nukes….oh how the Kremlin laughed…
Jeremy Corbyn hints at no-nuke subs in Trident compromise
Labour leader suggests submarines without warheads to protect defence jobs while maintaining his stance on disarmament
Naive to think that just because he wanted it, he could get it through parliament. Nae chance - but it's the only reason many have against the bloke.
Jesus, we arguing about Corbyn in here?
Absolutely horrific Labour leader who in no small part facilitated a Johnson election win.

Maybe. Or would have represented real change, reform and a better future for our kids.
Bernie Sanders in the U.S. at the same time...we blew it.
2017 was the chance and he had the manifesto the country needed.
Boris won on Brexit and a scandalous media campaign against JC, who in truth shouldn't have stood again.
It's easy to assume that the rest of the population wants what diehards want. I'm not sure that's the case at all, and most don't really want much change at all.
