Replace trident with non-nuclear frigates and stay out of foreign wars (except [hypothetical] world wars)
@8KCHPW33yrs3Y
Expand on it and possibly reintroduce Nuclear Bombers
@984ZVJ51yr1Y
Yes but until discussions with the rest of the world and all agree to sign where it is illegal to produce, own, use etc and all are destroyed
@983DZZ51yr1Y
I think we should try and not use it and not upgrade it anymore so they should leave it how it is and not spend much more money on it unless totally necessary
@982V4W41yr1Y
remove the funding from nuclear weapons and add most of it to the military
