UK Green. We must remain human in an age of monsters.
Stop climate change. Stop hate. Stop killing children. Stop fascism. End inequality.

I suspect it's larger than you think. The paper circulation may not be huge, but the Guardian has a lot of online presence.

So in order to prove that Russia is a threat in conventional warfare, you list a lot of examples of unconventional attack?
Having a nuclear deterrent is absolutely useless against the sort of shit Russia has been doing over recent years. It has become a hugely expensive white elephant.

Typical right-wing argument right here. Insinuations. Invisible evidence. Zero actual facts. Zero logic.

You're clearly not an actual professor, because they make reasoned arguments based on actual evidence, instead of indulging in childish name-calling.

Our nuclear weapons policy dates from the Cold War, when we feared the overwhelming might of a conventional attack by not just the Soviet Union, but all its Warsaw pact allies as well.
The world has changed. Russia is struggling in Ukraine, and poses zero conventional danger to the UK.

Corbyn was flawed but honest. Which made him leagues better than liars like Johnson, Starmer and Farage.
But now we don't need to settle for flawed but honest. We have Zack, who is smart and honest.

Absolutely zero principles. Just opposition for the sake of it.

Furthermore, I have pointed out that owning Greenland is completely unnecessary for the role you envision. All the US has to do is ask. Unless you can answer this, all your huge numbers of posts are off-topic.

You are very spammy. Also, very imaginative. I said nothing about intercepting a re-entry vehicle. You're tilting at windmills.
I named a simple counter-measure that would destroy any trillion dollar space base weapons strategy for a relatively low cost. Any nation with satellites could do it.

They can't plan for that. They may, in your SF fantasy, be able to 100% intercept missiles from the ground before they reach orbit. They are nowhere near that yet. However, to kick off Kessler syndrome, a nation could simply blow up its own satellites that were launched with explosives years ago.

It should also be noted that in any active non-nuclear conflict with a major power, the opponent could render all satellites useless within the first few weeks of the war.

If the primary interest of the US is in building a satellite base, what exactly is stopping them from doing that right now? Why do they need to tear NATO apart first?

We're not going to fire nukes over Greenland. Starmer is unable to use harsh language about Trump. He's not going to push that button.
The US won't invade, won't nuke us. We may instead see a complex hybrid conflict - economic, cyber, ships attacked, trade threatened. Nukes would be useless.

The Shah in Iran only came to power because the UK (Churchill) asked the US to assassinate their democratically elected leader following his nationalisation of BP oil fields.
We were on the same side in that one, and every bit as guilty.

Currently, the US is far more of a direct threat than Russia is. Trump openly talks about attacking a NATO country. If we honoured NATO treaties that would put us at war with the US.
Do you really think American missiles are an effective deterrent against America?

There are a bunch of reasons for anger. Some legitimate. However, one of them is certainly the major recession Iran is experiencing due to US sanctions.
