Quote

During the Cold War, whenever I heard someone talk about nuclear weapons causing fear and distorting our society, I would point out that the United Kingdom had a sizable arsenal and effective delivery systems for its nuclear weaponry. The UK could, if it wished, cause incalculable damage to the United States and there wasn't a soul in the U.S. whose sleep was troubled by British atomic bombs. The problem wasn't nuclear weapons; it was who had them. -- Alex Bensky
