A 2013 DOE doc suggested limited tests could resume in 6-10 months if needed, despite experts & lab directors saying it's unnecessary. ⚠️ The US IS developing new warheads (like the W93 for subs) w/o detonations. 🚀 #NuclearDeterrent #Innovation #NationalSecurity

No defense of Iran's regime is needed to see the U.S. & Israel undermined the JCPOA and fueled escalations, pushing Iran toward a nuclear deterrent. Diplomacy, not provocation, is the path to stability. #IranDeal #NuclearDeterrent

The UKs #NuclearDeterrent is not so independent, not is the all important missile guidance system.
France, UK & EU should share instead, so they pay 1/4 of R&D, & UK, Fr field 250 warheads each, while EU pay 1/2 & field 500, to cover all its members.
Also N platforms can be shared too.

The UK government refuses to say how much highly enriched uranium it imports from the US for its nuclear arms.

In a sane world, Israel would decommission their #apocalypse bombs or their targets would have their own nuclear deterrent

The Columbia-class is a floating fortress—stealthy, silent, and packing enough firepower to make any adversary think twice. It’s not just a sub—it’s the backbone of America’s nuclear deterrence for the next 40 years.

But as a nuclear deterrent against Gilead, they are shit.

And what if Mr President didn't want us to have those missile because we're 'nasty?'

You gonna suck him off to get back into his good books lad?

1/8 🚨UK Nuclear Arsenal Threatened🚨

Britain's ability to rely on US support for its nuclear arsenal faces mounting doubt as Trump's NATO commitment wavers.

The Trident missile system—already plagued by test failures and rising costs—now faces existential questions.

French President Macron has already declared "irreversible changes" in the American relationship. His response: "massive shared financing" for European military buildup and extending France's nuclear umbrella to allies—signalling major strategic shifts.

Polish and Danish leaders signalled openness today to French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to discuss how France’s nuclear deterrent can protect Europe.

...its own warheads. France's inventory is larger than England's (290 vs 225 warheads), but I don't know much about the delivery systems.

Creating a European nuclear force may take time, and I'm sure it will be under close consideration behind closed doors going forward.

8/10 Most challenging: Europeans will almost certainly need their own nuclear deterrent. Without reliable American protection, they would rely on small British and French forces against Russia's much larger arsenal.

How about we get rid of our nuclear deterrent, it won’t get used, it doesn’t deter war & the money saved could be used on conventional armed forces & sorting our country out. #Nucleardeterrent

Could I ask a potentially very worrying question? And I might be wrong about this, but aren't the trident missiles maintained by the US? If Starmer stood up to Trump/Musk and they decided we are no longer allies, what would happen to our "nuclear deterrent".

Actually the Department of Energy (DOE) & its National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) are deeply involved with US nukes, overseeing the Nuclear Weapons Stockpile, ensuring the safety, security & reliability of America's #NuclearDeterrent.
Amongst other responsibilities.
So there you go.
