Thanks Ants posted:Would the Tories really intentionally manoeuvre themselves away from a position of power just because they know Brexit is going to be a disaster? They seem like the 'power above all else' types. Depends if they're the "delayed gratification" type. A brexit disaster (aka brexit) could guarantee them a lot of power in the future. A weak Corbyn government likely will not get a lot done and will be sabotaged at every turn. On the other hand, May will be discredited even if Tories come out well in the long run - so it surely can't be her plan. Why would she sacrifice herself for the good of others? Tories don't do that sort of thing. I rather like the idea (proposed by someone earlier in the thread) that they want to be the largest party, but want to do badly enough that they have to take the LibDems into coalition, forcing them to make the concession of abandoning brexit (oh nooooo not brexit, we really really wanted to do the brexit, oh well never mind eh, you win some you lose some  ) yet still retaining power. But as much as I like it, it's conspiratorial garbage

The DPRK posted:You won't necessarily find anything on the Conservatives website with reference to "nine facts". It's possible to write a headline for an Adwords ad that bears no relation to the words written on the page it links to (although this is more costly). I like that it's nine facts. Ten would not be credible, too convenient a number. But nine? Sounds accurate. Maybe they're banking on people just seeing the headline and taking it at face value without clicking.

Jose posted:i liked the bloke who was of the belief that if corbyn launched nukes it would stop the ones already on their way to us Wasn't there a fanciful plan during the cold war to have nuclear missiles capable of doing this? ICBM interception wasn't really possible with conventional missiles but with a nuke you just need to detonate it near enough the incoming warhead to knock it off course, render it incapable of detonating or just destroy outright. I might have imagined that though. "Fanciful cold war nuke ideas" were ten a penny back then, and all equally laughable. What's everyone's favorite pie-in-the-sky nuke idea? I quite like the "let's put nuclear land mines in east Europe" one

Question: why hasn't Germany or Brazil or Iceland been nuked yet? They don't have nukes, so I don't understand why nobody has nuked them safe in the knowledge that they wouldn't retaliate.

Pissflaps posted:You're asking me if the UK is in NATO? It was a rhetorical question. Of course we're in NATO, and by your admission nobody would nuke us because we're in NATO, so our deterrent works even if we don't have nukes or we have a leader not willing to use them.

Pissflaps posted:I don't follow your point. The discussion at hand, unless I'm mistaken, is "does it compromise the UK deterrent if Corbyn is unwilling to use nukes" We've established that a) being a member of NATO is sufficient to maintain the deterrent and b) but only if other NATO members are willing to use nukes c) Corbyn is not running for leader of any other NATO members so b is not a concern

Pissflaps posted:If the UK is unwilling to use its nuclear deterrent then it has no nuclear deterrent and is not fulfilling its role to help protect other NATO member states. Iceland has no nuclear deterrent - is it "not fulfilling its role to help protect other NATO member states"?

Pissflaps posted:If it was to refuse to use what resources it has as it's disposal to fulfil its NATO obligations then it would be. Article 5 says "if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area." The UK could fulfill its obligation while deeming a nuclear retaliation unnecessary.

Pissflaps posted:Well, obviously. The point of NATO isn't to respond to any threat with a nuclear strike. Perhaps Corbyn has considered all possible scenarios and has deemed nuclear retaliation to be unnecessary in all of them. NATO obligations: fulfilled.
