Also, I don't think it's fair on the citizens who have nothing to do with the decision to push the button.. they are not all Kim Jong Un.

I don't how, Josh... it's a hypothetical question. We may intercept the first missiles, there may be too many to continue to intercept and the only way to stop it would be to attack. I don't want anyone nuked... but why have a deterrent if the PM isn't prepared to use it in the defence of this country?

The bottom line for me is this: if Corbyn isn't prepared to carry out his duty to the full, then he has no place running for PM.
