War with Iran, will the UK help

[Sil]

While it might sound naieve, I've always considered nuclear weapons to be a bit of a bluff tactic... They are a symbol of power rather than a realistic threat.

Everybody is more than aware that a single launch would have catastrophic consequences, on the scale of apocalypse, and with this in mind they are always simply a concealed weapon. Hiroshima showed everyone the horrific consequences of atomic weapons, a tragedy which even the most cold-hearted and power hungry would not replicate.

With a world poisoned and ruined, who wants to be the king of nothing?

I guess what I'm saying is that even the most ruthless dictators are aware of the repercussions, thus making them a symbolic threat rather than a realistic one.

America has lately taken the attitude of being the planet's watchdog, and it is a very patronising and frustrating position for the rest of the world.
