If only Russia had them then they’d face no deterrent. That’s cheese‘s point Micky. We have to have them because others do. If we don’t we are a sitting duck.

However, given Putin behaviour with chemical weapons in recent times, no one could trust Russia. North korea and Iran don't give a cause for optimism either.
