    Kinda annoying that our nuclear weapons are partly controlled by the USA and it’s probably not possible to use them against the USA 😬

      Well, it is. Sort of. We know this because periodically the navy takes a trident without a warhead and fires it from a submarine. One recent test was a partial success. The RN components all worked. Unfortunately the Lockheed guidance system failed and the missile turned around and headed for Florida.
