Why would any nation, much less a European one, need nuclear weapons?

Simple - deterrance. Russia, CHina, Pakistan, India, France, and even Iran soon could possibly be a future threat.

It was sarcasm. Brought me back to the fire arm debate and why would anyone need a gun. We don't know the threats by name but we know the threats exsist.

we are not in the same situation as mainland europe and current policies put us in a very different light to certain people then most eu members.

personnaly i would have been happy with either

-spend the 20 billion on new nukes

or

-spend the same 20 billion on boosting the armed forces.

dont want to see that money wander off to a different department, (iam sure the scottish parliment could think of a new building or two to waste it)
