People are always claiming that the UK Tridents can't be fired
without the USA authorisation (or even that only the USA controls
them), but they never seem to be able to provide any evidence for
this (or any evidence as to why the UK would be foolish enough to
sign up to such a deal).


Might be something to do with incurring HUGE debts to the US during
WW1 and the rematch between 1939 and '45.


Those debts were paid off in December.
