The idea of the UK not having a ‘sovereign’ nuclear deterrent is based on supply chain stuff.
There’s nothing stopping us launching all our nukes if we wanted to, it’s just that we’d have to order some bits in from outside of the country to replenish the missiles used to carry the warheads (which are made here). That’s if any of the suppliers were still alive after we’d started nuclear Armageddon…
Lol, we already can’t launch our own nukes, now we won’t be able to move our own troops without US approval.

Yeah but what good is blowing the planet up if you can’t do it again?
