Re: Why Great Britain needs Trident (none / 1)

Except that doesn't really fit with with the Soviet lack of the western conventional vs. nuclear view. Soviet doctrine called for an immediate use of nuclear weapons in support of the ground forces offensive.

Thousands of weapons were to be used in the initial strike at the dawn of the invasion. As many as two hundred(!) were reserved for strikes against Swedish targets.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Why Great Britain needs Trident (4.00 / 2)

well thats what I was saying, about the soviets lack of conventional/nuclear view and battlefield/strategic too (But the Soviet Invasion intention was a Laughable CIA invention)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
