I'm back, thanks to everyone who supports me and supports the removal of Trident.

I really do
appreciate it, thank you!
The report was first sent out on the 05/05/15. It took 12 days for it to be released . There were times
were I doubted I'd even get the word out. However, It didn't really matter how much doubt I had; I
was never going to stop trying. I knew has soon as the word got out the programme would be put in
checkmate. I've never felt any doubt towards the people's ability to remove the threat. Some people
think it's over; the only thing that's over is the programme. The public will remove the threat, it's
now just a matter of time. If the conservatives don't end it, the Scottish government will.
I will remain a law abiding citizen, by only discussing information that has already become
available to the public.
We cannot achieve peace without understanding war. Anyone can argue with my strategies, but noone can argue with Sun Tzu's in The Art of War. Unless stated otherwise all quotes in this post are
from The Art of War. The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and
death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be
neglected. Some people are angered by my actions, Anger may in time change to gladness;
vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come
again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.
The majority of the people that I've spoken to recently, seemed more interested in my political
views than the safety and security issues. My actions aren't driven by politics; they are solely driven
by my concern for public safety. I'm not yet fully up to date with how seriously each political party
has taken this issue. Some of them may appear to be interested but they might lack the ability to see
through the wool that the military spin doctors have been trying to pull over their eyes. I will not
back any political party that agrees with maintaining the threat, and maintaining the suppression of
the Scottish people's right to defend themselves.
I will give the Prime Minister time to make his decision. I have a lot of respect for Mr Cameron's
strong stance in Europe. Reform in the EU is desperately needed. The EU has not yet unlocked its
true potential. A fully reformed European Union would provide both economic and physical
security for generations. There is currently a massive lack of vision within Europe; it has become
controlled by countries who are seeking to profit from its values, without showing any concern in
protecting Europe itself. If Europe continues along this path it will collapse, which will give Russia
the opportunity to expand. We cannot let that happen! We also can't maintain unity within Europe,
without first achieving unity within the UK.
My primary concern right now is as always, the safety of the UK. On the 07/07/15 I will make my
judgement on whether or not the Conservatives are showing a desire to conserve Trident. That
would essentially be a desire to suppress Scotland's freedom to defend itself.. If I feel that they are, I
will start a campaign that will create an independent Scotland. No country should ever be forced to
pay for and keep a system that is severely endangering its people and land; while simultaneously
cutting the budget of the system designed to save its people (NHS). The majority of Scotland and
the SNP government want Trident removed. If another independence election arises as result of the
Scottish people being clearly suppressed, then I guarantee you, Scotland will unite, and they will
vote Yes! If I'm not available on the 07/07/15 then I trust Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond can
determine what my choice would've been.
Some people have been asking themselves the question, Trident Yes or No? This isn't as simple as,
should we have big bombs or ehh should we not have big bombs? The real question is do you want
the false deterrent / open attraction / major threat called Trident or do you want a genuine deterrent

through unity?
All of the charges against me were dropped; there's nothing that I can be charged with now. I
believe The Home Office are still doing their investigation, but that's nothing to worry about. Most
people know that I acted in the interest of national security. However, I was still given a
dishonourable discharge from the Royal Navy. On the claim that my sole aim was to discredit their
public image.. The truth is, I view the Royal Navy as the greatest navy in history. Making self
sacrifices just to discredit the Royal Navies image makes no sense whatsoever. It is shocking that
some people in a military force can be more concerned about public image, than public safety. I
would've been home a bit earlier if I accepted The Captain of the base's offer for SNLR Discharge.
However signing that paper would've shown that I agreed to his accusations, the report contained
several falsities. He used the word several but could only give one example. A claim which I
instantly proved to be 100% false. He had simply misunderstood the wording in one of the
paragraphs. His report which then contained zero evidence went to a commodore, then he kicked
me out for discrediting the navies image.
It should be noted that a lot of military personnel which I've recently encountered showed that they
know the report is truthful, and a lot them wished me luck on completing my objectives. Some of
them were shocked that I didn't receive an honourable discharge or wasn't kept in the service.
Personally, I thought honourable discharge would've been nice but I didn't really care if it was
honourable discharge or not. I just respectively told them that I'd accept any punishment as long as
the accusations against me are true. In fairness the Base Captain had a hard decision to make. He
has to maintain military discipline, and an honourable discharge certainly wouldn't have been good
for military discipline. From his point of view, think he made the right choice, it was just the words
he used in his claim that angered me; a claim which held zero evidence.
On my final day the base Captain sat in front of me explaining his views. He started by telling me,
that he used to work at Faslane. Then went onto say - it isn't possible for people's bags to be
checked, it would take far too long to get onto the boat there's nothing wrong with the security at
the site, everyone has went through security checks sometimes the gates don't work, that's bound
to happen. Then he mockingly asked me, do you actually believe that security should be taken to
the level of everyone getting their eyeballs scanned and bags x-rayed? I tried to explain my views
to him at the time, but he barely let me speak. I'm sure he'll read this post.
There are five dangerous faults which may affect a General: 1. Recklessness, which leads to
destruction. 2. Cowardice, which leads to capture 3. A hasty temper which can be provoked by
insults 4. A delicacy of honour which is sensitive to shame 5. Over-solicitude for his men, which
exposes him to worry and trouble. These are the five besetting sins of a general. Any of those
sound familiar?
The people in the room looked at the base Captain and seen a high ranking officer with a lot of
experience, then they looked me and just seen an engineering technician ET/AB. It appeared that
everyone of them favoured the base Captains and Commodore's views on security. I'm extremely
confident that a lot kids have read the report and instantly seen the lack military science being used.
Alexander the Great, St. Joan of Arc, Scipio Africanus, Augustus (Octavian) Caesar, they were all
extremely successful experts in the art stratagem at very young ages; perfect examples of how
history shows that the words of strategy shouldn't be judged on someone's age or experience. The
good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an
opportunity of defeating the enemy. I'm not saying that I'm even close to the greats level of
tactical awareness. The point I'm trying to make is, experience can make someone become
accustomed to a particular way. It's like explaining your new mobile phone to your granny. My
granny always defended the phone with the cord attached. The only difference is my granny

attempted to make a convincing argument; you can't lose your phone when it's a attached to a cord..
I accept that those risks were probably acceptable during the cold war period however, Do not
repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the
infinite variety of circumstances. Conditions have dramatically changed, we are now in a Global
war against terrorism Therefore, just as water maintains no constant shape, so in warfare there are
no constant conditions. We must adapt in order to survive!
My answer to his lack of interest in security is: I didn't have the security clearance needed to do my
job. Anyone without a DV clearance certainly shouldn't have been trusted to put any part of their
body inside a nuclear missile. My experience makes me question the level of security checks carried
out on the numerous civilian contractors that go down those boats every week; ranging from
carpenters to system maintainers. Remember, we are fighting a global war on terrorism! Some polls
show that as much as 7% of the UK support the Islamic State. There is no instance of a nation
benefiting from prolonged warfare. All it takes is for one contractor or one person from the
military to put a bomb in his/her bag, and the UK is at a high risk of becoming the Chernobyl of
Europe. As mentioned in the report, those pin code gates didn't work most of time. It's hard to tell
when they do work; the security guards just buzz anyone through because a lot of people have
forgotten their pin code. That final gate is an extremely important part of the line of defence. That
the impact of your army may be like a grindstone dashed against an egg this is effected by the
science of weak points and strong. Without that gate all that a crafty terrorist in Britain needs to get
onto a nuclear submarine is a couple of fake Ids.
We are fighting a modern war, and IS has already proven that they have the ability to obtain fake
Ids. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. The Islamic
State have already proven to be a formidable enemy:
Hacking - BBC reported, Mr Merkel said IS was known for using cyber-attack tools in conflict
zones to gather intelligence about enemy forces. Supporters of IS were helping it with
opportunistic attacks and more sophisticated operations, said FireEye. "There's a lot of people that
go to Syria fight for IS but another way to fight is to stay home and do it from there," said David
Merkel, chief technology officer at FireEye.
Online news source, "U.S. Central Command, Twitter and YouTube accounts were hacked with proIslamic State messages. The Islamic State Hacking Division claims it hacked military servers,
databases and email accounts to obtain the information. A self-proclaimed arm of ISIS reportedly
posted the names and addresses of 100 U.S. military personnel online Friday night, along with a
chilling message:We have decided to leak 100 addresses so that our brothers residing in America
can deal with you. Kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death
as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe.
ZDNET, ISIS came onto the scene very quickly, but they already have arguably the best cyber
offensive capability of any extremist movement out there, and it's still early days," Mikko
Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure said. It's not yet really a big problem, but obviously
this isn't getting better, this is getting worse," he said. One such hacker is Abu Hussain Al Britani, a
British citizen that F-Secure had been tracking as a traditional hacker three years ago. They lost
track of him two years ago, but found him again last summer in Syria. He was offline for maybe
half a year, but he came back online two days ago, together with his wife. They are both British
citizens. And he's actually involved with the attacks that we saw against the US Central Command
in which the home addresses of US generals were posted online, Hypponen said.
Fraud Dailymail, ISIS are funding their evil war by milking Britain's benefits system through
false claims, online fraud and student loans First time the Whitehall department has admitted the
fraudulent claims Other European countries have been forced to admit that they too have been

stung in similar frauds. In Denmark, it has been revealed that more than two dozen jihadists
received unemployment benefits from the Danish government while fighting for Islamic State in
Syria, totalling close to 500,000. Experts believe jihadists have committed a number of highlevel frauds to deliberately abuse the welfare system
Recruitment Dailymail, How Dewsbury, the once great textile town of the North, has undergone
a terrifying transformation. UK's youngest ever suicide bomber was from Dewsbury, West
Yorkshire. Talha Asmal, 17, killed himself by detonating a car packed with explosives. Several
other British-born terrorists have also been radicalised in the town. There is no official figure for
the number of British fighters who have joined ISIS but estimates claim it could be up to 1,000.
The mirror, Anthony small: Ex British boxing champ 'sold career memorabilia to fund trip to join
ISIS'. Mr Whittam said Small had also taken steps to get a false Portuguese passport and driving
licence in the lead-up to the arrests. You may think that was to raise money. Although he had yet to
receive his false documents the same people who provided the false documents for the first two
defendants had prepared false documents for him.
Interest in Nukes - John Cantlie ISIS prisoner wrote, Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto
the table. The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wil?yah in
Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the
region. The weapon is then transported overland until it makes it to Libya, where the muj?hid?n
move it south to Nigeria. Drug shipments from Columbia bound for Europe pass through West
Africa, so moving other types of contraband from East to West is just as possible. The nuke and
accompanying muj?hid?n arrive on the shorelines of South America and are transported through
the porous borders of Central America before arriving in Mexico and up to the border with the
United States. From there its just a quick hop through a smuggling tunnel and hey presto, theyre
mingling with another 12 million illegal aliens in America with a nuclear bomb in the trunk of
their car. Perhaps such a scenario is far-fetched but its the sum of all fears for Western intelligence
agencies and its infinitely more possible today than it was just one year ago. And if not a nuke,
what about a few thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosive?Thats easy enough to make. The
Islamic State make no secret of the fact they have every intention of attacking America on its home
soil and theyre not going to mince about with two muj?hid?n taking down a dozen casualties if it
originates from the Caliphate. Theyll be looking to do something big, something that would make
any past operation look like a squirrel shoot, and the more groups that pledge allegiance the more
possible it becomes to pull off something truly epic. Remember, all of this has happened in less than
a year. How more dangerous will be the lines of communication and supply a year on from today?
If the West completely failed to spot the emergence of the Islamic State and then the allies who so
quickly pledged allegiance to it from around the world, what else of massive significance are they
going to miss next?
Ibtimes, India's Minister of State for Defence has warned the world that the Islamic State (Isis)
militants can acquire nuclear weapons from Pakistan. With the rise of ISIS in West Asia, one is
afraid to an extent that perhaps they might get access to a nuclear arsenal from states like Pakistan,"
said Rao Inderjit Singh on 30 May, reported Bloomberg, amidst the Shangri-La regional security
conference in Singapore.
The Front page mag, The Australian foreign minister, Julie Bishop, made an alarming revelation to
the Australian newspaper, which was picked up by Britains independent and then by the world.
ISIS, she said, presently has the capacity to build a large, radioactive disbursal device known as a
dirty bomb.If this is true, no one doubts the willingness of the Islamic State (IS, or ISIS) to use
such a terror-inducing bomb on any target it wants. ISIS has bragged about its desire to obtain an
actual nuclear bomb, not just a dirty bomb

ISIS are growing stronger everyday. "No long war ever profited any country: 100 victories in 100
battles is simply ridiculous. Anyone who excels in defeating his enemies triumphs before his
enemy's threats become real".
I know how crazy some of you tin foil hat guys can be, so before people start any conspiracy
theories, I must point out that I'm in no way linked to IS. People have shown an interest in the
timing of my report, numbers and all that crap.. Some people have even suggested that I'm sort of
SNP super agent; absolutely ridiculous. The report was first sent out on 05/05/15 two days before
the election. Which has made some people think that I done it before the election to help the SNP,
and people have even asked what's significant about 555 and 147 (my email address number). It's
just a coincidence that it was released on the 5th . I started typing up the full report after my patrol,
there's no way that I could've timed it. The 5th is when I finished writing the report. When I joined
the Royal Navy, I had know idea that I was going to work with nuclear weapons. When I found out
I was happy; I used to think they were an essential tool in maintaining peace, by deterring war. It
wasn't until I seen the major safety and security issues that I realised the system is more of a threat
than a deterrent. People should take the level of thought they put into conspiracy theories and use it
to see the safety and security issues. Instead of worrying about numbers and crap, how about
worrying about getting rid of the threat.. Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war,
cleverness has never been associated with long delays.
It's not just IS that we need to defend ourselves against: Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Boko Haram, lone
wolves.. The threat by inferior forces is greater than it has ever been, He will win who knows how
to handle both superior and inferior forces. They'll probably say don't forget about the QM the
QM barely does his job, he just sits in his box most of the time and it's far too easy to just walk
straight past him (Read the Report). I've walked straight past them and straight down the boat
without being on the QM's access list, and that was before any of them knew who I was.
We need extra manning at the QM positions, no-one should be able to get onboard without being on
an access list, Ids must be checked thoroughly, and I know people will think it's a pain in the ass but
all of the equipment that contractors bring onboard must be checked. Security at the site must be put
above its current highest possible state, until the missiles are removed. He who can modify his
tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born
captain. You can ensure the safety of your defence if you only hold positions that cannot be
attacked. A detonated bomb onboard wouldn't cause nuclear explosion. However, there's enough
potential energy in those rockets to launch the warheads and the contents of the nuclear reactor,
across Scotland and beyond, why are we accepting that risk? and when have I ever mentioned eye
ball scanners? My objectives are clearly to peacefully remove the false Deterrent and open
attraction called Trident. We must also start working towards creating a genuine deterrent. To
secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is
provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself from defeat..
According as circumstances are favourable, one should modify ones plans.
Some people within the RN have been maliciously spreading the rumour that most of the
information in my report is just hearsay. People should read the report before they judge it. After
sitting down and going through the 30 incidents that Rob Edwards covered, they were amazed when
they realised that 27 of them were either witnessed or read in documented reports, on the patrol.
Again read my report before making assumptions! I clearly explained the sources, along with where
I gathered the information. The other 3 of the 30 were accurate reports of what was described to me
by experienced submariners, and the quotes are word for word quotes. It doesn't matter if they were
just spinning shit dits, the recordings of their claims are still 100% accurate. 1 out of 3 of those
claims has already been proven, with images showing the aftermath of the submarine crash. Those
images can be found online (not leaked by me). They are attempting to use the down play method

by saying that the information was made available to the public. Anyone with a brain knows they
wouldn't have just released those images. They attempted to cover it up. What they won't tell you is
the only information released about the crash was information they were forced to release because
someone leaked a picture of the aftermath. This is mentioned online, it's public information.
Other submariners have been anonymously releasing information to journalists. It's only a matter of
time before worse information comes out, and everything is proven to be true. Even high ranking
senior figures have expressed their concerns. For example the telegraph reported, five retired
senior officers with significant maritime aviation experience showed major concerns for the
removal of one of Tridents defences, Nimrod. Their report in the Telegraph stated We know that
Russian submarines are monitoring the area from which our nuclear missile submarines emerge
from the Clyde. Without maritime patrol aircraft surveillance, opportunities for intelligencegathering by such intruders can only prejudice the security and effectiveness of our strategic
deterrent. Indeed, it would be surprising if valuable intelligence had not already been acquired by
the Russian Navy since the Nimrod force was grounded in March 2010.
You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. I
hope that the security issues are being dealt with. Safety and Security for nuclear weapons should
never be thought of as the best we can do, when clearly it's far from it. Security at the site must be
put above its current highest possible state, until all the missiles are removed. The missiles must be
removed without hesitation, the worst calamities that befall an army arise from hesitation.
I must point out that I'm not suggesting everybody should release every bit of information they can
get their hands on. Some people have no understanding of what should and shouldn't be released.
Don't be like those guys who just put everything on a pen drive and release it all. All of my charges
were dropped because I carefully selected information. Besides a few paragraphs I didn't release
any official documentation, no names were released etc. There is a line between increasing security
and damaging security. You must never cross that line. You should always start by raising your
concerns from within the system. If that doesn't work you can file a representation. I raised my
concerns within the system first, but the staff never took the complaints seriously. They all thought
they were salty sea dogs who knew best. Their philosophy is: the easier it is to get down the boat;
the less time spent in the rain.. The representation method was never even discussed. If I had of
known about the representation method there's a chance I'd still be a member of The Royal Navy
and I probably would've been in line for another fast promotion after my leading hands course.
However, I'm just a man. All I can do is try to walk the best path. I believe Ecclesiastes 3 : 11 He
hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man
can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. All paths will lead to the
same place. It's not about where your going, it's about how you get there. Isaiah 42:16 "I will lead
the blind by a way they do not know, In paths they do not know I will guide them. I will make
darkness into light before them And rugged places into plains. These are the things I will do, And I
will not leave them undone." Sun Tzu, If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory
will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory
complete.
It's just a matter of time before Trident will be seen as a threat by the majority of the public. The
Royal Navy have been assigned with the programme. They won't just try to maintain and protect it
physically, they will also try to protect and maintain its reputation All warfare is based on
deception. The Trident programme is in checkmate, but I suspect that some people will continue to
try and move pieces. It's not up to the RN to stop the programme, it is up to the government.
The military deceivers are good at what they do, but this job will be impossible for them. Their
arguments don't stand up to simple logic and there is a complete lack of uniformity in their claims.

They told me, the investigators found no signs of personnel ignoring alarms; obviously, no-one will
be ignoring alarms with investigators standing watching them! They told me, some of the alarms
that I mentioned weren't present; obviously, the boat is now alongside in harbour.. Who's running
this investigation, Captain obvious!? For one example: It's a fact that N2 is topped up alongside, the
alarm won't activate again until it drops below a certain psi. When they pointed that one out they
never mentioned that I was a fully qualified submariner, that had responding to alerts and alarms
signed off in his Strategic Weapon System task book; basically they inadvertently backed up what I
said when I mentioned people are getting tasks in their task books signed off without fully
understanding the system. Simple logic and a basic understanding of engineering is enough to break
down any of these desperate attempts to deceive. I must point out that the officer who was
explaining the investigation to me had never even been on a submarine. They only made one
attempt to lie to me, then they soon realised I wasn't buying their bullshit. They never attempted to
lie to me again. Instead they switched to the down play method and offered to send someone from
Faslane down to tell how everything isn't as bad as I think it is, and it's all under control.. After they
seen how pissed off I was with them they decided that wasn't going to work. I hope what he said
about the investigation wasn't true; hopefully the actual investigators have served on the Vanguard
class submarines, and are up to date with the systems and routines, otherwise that investigation is
absolutely pointless. I'll happily help the investigators if they want, and I'll get them enough
evidence within a week.
Please look at all the evidence and use logic, instead of just assuming. When I was in Germany
some people were assuming that I was trying to remain undetected from the Navy, whilst
simultaneously trying to hand myself into the Navy. That makes no logical sense whatsoever.
However, I do understand that assumption. I was avoiding a threat, and the wording in my
Facebook posts could've been clearer. Some of the sentences can be wrongly interpreted, it's mainly
my fault for not explaining the situation in more detail, I'm sorry. I was safe in custody. At one point
I had a whole prison wing to myself, my room just had a bed in it and I was checked on every 15
minutes.. It doesn't get much safer than that.. The civilian police, army MPS, and Royal Navy staff
were all great. I spent most of the time at HMS Nelson. After they realised I wasn't a threat my
forced escorts turned into optional escorts.
Being in prison and detention wasn't that bad, I was relaxed because I knew I couldn't do anything.
The worst part was when I had free movement but I had no freedom of speech. I seen a post on my
personal Facebook page from someone claiming to be ex navy; he was trying to discredit me and
the report, and I couldn't do anything about it. The only reason I didn't respond to the brain washed
idiot on Facebook was because I was still in the military, and speaking to the public would've just
prolonged my inability to freely speak. I've been strongly advised to remain silent and live a private
life. I'm civilian now, and I have the right to free speech. I'm not going to waste that freedom by just
sitting around on my ass, while the UK is in danger.
As for my run-ins aboard, the people I seen seemed to be foreign. I've explained those situations in
detail to the investigators. I have an assumption of which government it might have been, but it's
just an assumption and I won't make any accusations on an assumption. CI have told me that it's
highly likely that foreign governments will attempt to approach me again at some point. They said,
it's highly likely they'll try to approach me by pretending to be a reporter. I'm not planning on
speaking to TV crews and reporters for a while, not because I think your a bunch of spies, but
because I need to read up on what's going on so I can respond appropriately. Also I want to observe
the governments reaction. I'll mostly be just observing the governments response until the 07/07/15.
Now that I've got a bit of free time I should probably find out why I'm spitting out blood; I was
happy enough when I thought it was just my wisdom teeth. It's kind of ironic considering how much
I've been going on about not assuming.

In an ideal world my life would be private. This world is far from ideal and I see the media as a
much needed tool in changing it. My contact with media will be done in a controlled and calculative
manner. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many
calculation lead to victory. I don't care how much money I'm offered to appear on TV or in the
newspapers; I will refuse do it, unless it benefits my objectives. Right now, I don't feel that it will be
beneficial. There's enough information out there for the government to make their decision, and I
want to observe how they react to it. I've never experienced the rich and famous life style, but I'm
bored of it already. There are far too many people in this world who believe the greatest
achievement in life is having a massive chain around their neck, owning a ridiculous amount of
overly priced cars and all that selfish shit.. Besides being good for the economy, most them are
useless. How about using some of your money to build something like a hospital or an orphanage?
One day they'll look back on their life and see what that chain around their neck actually
symbolises. I will never live that lifestyle. Please, Just focus your stories on what needs to be done.
The UK and it's allies have become too relaxed in the war on terror. Success in warfare is gained
by carefully accommodating ourselves to the enemy's purpose. Knowing the enemy enables you
to take the offensive, knowing yourself enables you to stand on the defensive. It is absolutely
astounding how some people can't even remember back to the beginning of the Iraq war, when they
were lied to about nuclear weapons in Iraq. Now you're being lied to about how safe and secure the
nuclear weapons on your homeland are. It will be extraordinarily ironic if the people that were
radicalised by the war in Iraq to stop WMDs are the ones who stop WMDs in the UK. We must
continue to do our best to stop that from happening. The Trident programme most be peacefully
removed ASAP. The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy not coming,
but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the
fact that we have made our position unassailable.
What are the military benefits of the false deterrent / open attraction called Trident? Some people
are so paranoid and naive that they believe Russia or China will attack the UK as soon as we
remove Trident. They seem to forget about all the other NATO nations that would deter such an
attack. The real deterrent is unity. If the armies troops march up angrily and remain facing ours
without either joining battle or taking themselves off again, the situation is one that demands great
vigilance and circumspection. It is clear that we must maintain some form of deterrent in order to
deter even the mere thought of a hostile expansion, from nations likes of Russia, Iran, North
Korea... However conditions have changed dramatically since the Cold War. Do not repeat the
tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety
of circumstances. Therefore, just as water maintains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no
constant conditions.
I have considered how nuclear weapons provide a deterrent against every hostile and potential
hostile nation. I've concluded that the Trident system is not a strong deterrent; in fact due to the war
on terrorism I now consider the Trident system to be the opposite of a deterrent. Those rusty boats
are useless against all of the nations that we might find ourselves at war with. I was shocked to find
that some people think nuking Iran or North Korea would be the best option if we go to war with
them. That strategy is absolutely ridiculous. Any kind of nuclear a attack on Iran or North Korea
would start a world war. China would unquestionably respond to a nuclear attack on North Korea,
and Russia would almost certainly respond to a nuclear attack on Iran. We need a genuine deterrent.
A deterrent which won't cause any long-term environmental damage.
The UK has spent an astounding amount of money on the Trident programme. This government has
plans to replace the Trident submarines with the new Successor class submarines. CND reports that
the cost of Successor could exceed 100 Billion. The Guardian reported, The future of Britains
nuclear submarine fleet is set to become a major election issue this week amid concern that billions

of pounds is being spent on a successor before parliament has approved an upgrade. Another
perfect example of their lies.. This is happening while the government is making cuts to the NHS!
Most of Europe shares the same currency, we have European laws, we have free movement within
Europe, we protect each other economically... It's time to create European funded defence. It's the
only way we can make sure that all European nations contribute to Europe's defence. There's no
reason for the UK to be spending all of that money during austerity cuts. This is the perfect

This is not the time for me to explain what I think is the perfect strategy for dealing with every
potential threat. My primary concern is the removal of the current threat, Trident. I believe that
Europe is essential to the UK's long term survival; I also believe that Scotland would comfortably
survive being independent, and I won't let them be denied the right to defend themselves. It's up to
the elected government to decide between, the false deterrent called Trident or the genuine deterrent
unity. 07/07/15
