I think your points about America helping its allies has been tackled by others - but 'we can only scrap Trident because America will protect us'?

Yes. You can scrap Trident, and then hide behind American power the way that most of Europe already does. That way, American can play world cop the way that we always do, when one of our allies that is actually armed, defangs themselves.

It would be stupid as hell of you, but you could do it. What makes me laugh is that you want to do it, even though you'd think America would let England twist in wind if you all were threatened.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem too bright of you.
