You could pray for Boris Pete

Might be a bit weird to pray for him after he’s just knocked one out over him

He will be safely underground in the Government's bomb proof bunker. Probably a good place to throw a party

There’s a certain establishment on the North Yorkshire moors that would detect ballistic missile launches from subs or anywhere tbh.

Should give us 4 minutes warning. More than enough time to knock one out.

When you'll say "knock one out", do you mean the nuke or as a man on the edge with little time left, it's time to get the Kelly Le Brock poster out from Wierd Science and "knock one out" for old times sake?

Edit : sorry @Mutzo Nutzo just seen 20 other folk asking the same thing lol

That is relatively comforting news. However, how many counter measures do we have? If they fired 100 nukes at us do they we have supply of 100 counter 'missiles' to intercept?

Pretty sure there are no effective counter measures. The 4 minutes gives us time to fire back.

The problem is, I dont think Putin and Medvedev care if the nukes go the other way, their families will be in a non-nuclear country and they are "safe" underground. MAD is only factor when both sides care about the mutual bit.

I am quite sure that they realise that if they are foolish enough to launch nuclear weapons that it will not matter if they try and hide, they and their families will be found. They know this.

That isn't how our deterrent works - we've always known since the ICBM era started that if there is a launch, that is the end of us. The firing back might come hours later, after a sub captain opens their safe.

I think if somebody refuses to "press the button" they will be replaced, after leaving a window, I know this, they know this.

Putin isnt surrounding himself with hippy types, no doubt they all think like him, RUSSIA IS THE BEST.

We really arent dealing with sane and rational people here.
