Russia currently has 8000 warheads trained on their enemies, the U.S 5000, China 3000, Britain less than 200. If we're in any way to be respected as a global power, we have to at least times that number by 10. It's just not acceptable as is. Right now any time a Brit tries to assert his power on an internet message board as to the superiority of British comedy over American, the American need but mention that they have twenty-five times the number of nukes to us in their possession and the argument is as good as won. Great Britain? Piddling, Diminiscule, Sterile, Flaccid Britain more like.
