Why would Britain ever launch a nuclear attack? And if we did what would happen?
Very few people want to be responsible for the start of Armageddon, so the likelihood that Britain would initiate a nuclear war is slim to none.
But if a rival nuclear power started to look truly threatening there's a chance the prime minister would start preparing for the worst.
Russia is probably the nuclear threat that jumps into most people's minds, and - although a rerun of the Cold War is unlikely - the prospect of President Putin waving a nuclear bomb in the NATO nations' direction is a bit concerning.
If diplomacy with a nuclear state failed, the first military option would probably be conventional bombing campaigns and ground troops.
