Getting rid of nuclear weapons will never make as safer as the many tyrants out there will take advantage of any vulnerability. They won't think if they do it we will. They will laugh at us.

Except Trident literally does nothing to prevent a nuclear strike from happening. It's three submarines that will retaliate if a nuke hits the UK. It's not a defensive system, it's a revenge attack.
Trident is useless and having nuclear weapons is a fool's expensive game. Anti-Missile technology is important, preventative measures are important. Nuclear missiles that can only be used for revenge aren't. Retaliation doesn't matter to the thousands of people that have been killed in a nuclear blast, nor will it matter to the survivors who contract radiation based diseases or develop cancer or their future generations of children who will be born sick because of it.
Nuclear missiles are a waste of money, once one country launches a missile everybody ****ing dies because everyone else with nukes will respond in the same way.
