do you not know why we have military spending?

Yes.

And what's that got to do with the Trident programme.

Please explain why in your own words why the Trident
programme represents good value for money, as against

of the changed world situation.

Russia was never likely to start a nuclear war.
However the growing number of militant lead states might use a nuke if
they can get one.
They will think twice about it if they have a few mervs pointing at them.

You do realise that the money mostly goes in wages so if it isn't spent
on wages the economy will be worse off? What else can they spend it on,
more windmills?

They need celebraties so their plebs have something to spend money on such as tattoos and cars.
