UK independant Trident launch.

Actually, all I ever claimed was that the UK would never independently launch nuclear weapons. Nato, apart from the US and the UK has what in the way of nuclear weapons? The French are not members, remember.

I asked YOU to come up with a realistic scenario where the UK would launch independently and you came back with, nothing. Sad that you are still banging on a empty drum.

France was one the nations that signed the Treaty of Brussels in 1948, the precursor of NATO. France has been a NATO member since NATO's creation.
France withdrew its forces from the NATO command structure in 1962, while remaining a member. France announced their return to full participation at the 2009 Strasbourg–Kehl summit.
