Here’s hoping that the rest of the world’s nuclear arsenal is practically non-functional as well.
Previous test failed as well

well, this is what tests are for, right?
Yes, but the previous test also failed.
ah, so a two test limit is in place.
What is a “nuclear-deterrent missile”? Is it just a nuclear missle? A regular missle that deters nuclear missles?
Nuclear deterrent because it’s submarine-borne. If a country makes a first strike on the UK, their submarines, which are ideally hidden and steaming around in oceans somewhere, can make a retaliation strike. They’re still equipped with nuclear warheads but aren’t necessarily intended for a first strike.
You can destroy the UK, but you won’t escape unscathed.
smoldering remains of a country: “worth.”
Good question.
“Go missile! Attack the evil colonizers” [heads towards the UK] “No no! Not like that! Cancel! Cancel!!”
