      Well, presumably the others work.

      The Russian nuclear capabilities are apparently not in great shape either if it’s any consolation.

        I suppose in an emergency they could just keep firing them off until they finally get one that works.

    Why are we testing them? Surely it’s enough to just say we have nuclear weapons, if you fuck with us, we’ll fuck with you. But now we’ve gone and shown our hand, and it turns out we don’t know what we’re doing.

      On the plus side its safe to assume the Russian and Chinese missiles are in a similar state

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
