Not a lot. The British weapons are reliant on US maintenance. Won’t be credible for long if the US doesn’t support them.

Isn’t this a bit like saying that because I drive a German car that’s maintained by the dealership, it’s not my car?

I’m sure it wouldn’t be tricky for the UK to move the Trident weapons program closer to home, or to align with allies in Europe (lol).

By the time Russia is knocking at the door of the UK, its already game over.

That said, I would not want to be Polish right now.
