do you not know why we have military spending?

Yes.

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

Why don't you ever read what you link too?

If you do then you may notice that it was the yanks that nearly went to

The two that were errors it was the Russians that decided not to go to war.

It was the yanks that were going to war over Cuba too, they decided it
was fine to have short range nukes in Germany aimed at Russia but it was
worth destruction to stop the same short range missiles in Cuba.
