Or be like the UK and rent your nukes from the USA

yeah, it really sucks we aren't spending millions of pounds of tax payers money annually to buy more weapons that nobody in their right mind can ever even use than we already have

A well-thought-out response to the defense issues you are currently facing in the UK.

We will be okay in that regard, it's been a question of priorities. American didn't wrest our security obligations from us, we freely offered them up. The expertise and capability exists, in the long run, it's American hegemony that suffers. 

If us, the french and the germans get our acts together then America will lose ground and maybe get beaten for innovation. 

The british ruled the world and played global policeman for three times as long as America has at this point, we know what we're doing (providing we keep the russian backed parties away from power)

It's been in america's interests to keep Europe defanged as long as it has, and paving the way for that coming back is a big mistake for lots of reasons if you're american
