Vitamin P posted:

He wouldn't just say "I would do everything necessary to protect our people" and instead twisted in the wind about 'no first strikes' and didn't shut the gently caress up. He looked really dishonest and completely supported the whole 'nutty dangerous corbyn' attack. Hope is legit dead now it was loving terrible.

He looked dishonest by not giving into the audience's bloodlust for hypothetical revenge?

Terrorists 4 decades ago are a massive deal. Government policy killing twice as many people now is no biggie.

EDIT: Is it not illegal to accuse someone of supporting a terrorist organisation?

Oh good how many of these people are Tories?

This is unbelievably biased. I really suspect this audience is not remotely representative, the two parts of this 'debate' are incomparable. Both in terms of the tone of questioning, and the extent to which Dimbleby regulates it.

The audience is one-third Tory and they all know the IRA and Trident are the two things to press Corbyn on. It's not a huge surprise.

He looked dishonest because he wasn't giving an honest answer. He wouldn't use retaliatory nukes, that's obvious, but he was finding every and any other method of saying that without outright saying it.

It was loving moronic and he's just given the tories and blairites everything.

Who exactly is being deterred by the UKs nuclear weapons anyway? Who out there would be gearing up to invade right now if only the UK didnt have that one nuclear armed sub at sea?

Russia, China and the US are the only countries with the military capacity to existentially threaten the UK (and realistically its actually only the US) and the UKs nuclear arsenal isn't big enough to deter any of them in the fantasy scenario where any one of them attack.

Like what are the actual concrete details of a scenario where the nuclear deterrence actually does any deterring?

I'm really hoping hope for the U.K. isn't dead. My president took the US out of the climate change agreement yesterday, and I would very much like not to be depressed today.
