I really hope that, this time, we stick to our guns and make that bastard Putin feel the full weight of world condemnation. He is no more than a smirking gangster who runs the country like dirty business.
This may or may not be true, but it doesn't change the fact that in terms of weapons and conflict ability and technology, they are the most advanced nuclear state in the world, by a far country mile, and are not someone we, or anyone else, should provoke.
Of course we should condemn any underhand activities, but you can't change the fact that, if they wish, they can blow us out of the ocean, and there's sod all we or anyone else can do about it. I very much doubt "trident" would get past their defences, certainly enough to cause them a loss of operational capacity.
I may well be wrong. Or influenced by scare mongering press. etc. But I still feel it's like comparing a pea shooter to a machine gun....
