Guardian: Reports that the decision to replace the Trident nuclear system will now be taken in five years. Although this delay will keep the Liberal Democrats happy in the Coalition Government it still keeps the UK a nuclear armed nation, it’s a matter of when the UK decides to upgrade its nuclear arsenal, even Ed Miliband the new Labour leader supports the UK being a nuclear armed power, that is one reform from New Labour that has stuck with the new leadership. The downside to the Defence Review as reported by the BBC is that HMS Ark Royal will be axed early than expected as to save money, lets hope we don’t have another Falklands War 11. These tough Defence decisions are based on the economic mess left to the Coalition Government by the Government of Gordon Brown. Also lets hope down the line that Iran does not try some kind of nuclear blackmail, its always the unexpected that gets you, it’s the unknown of the unknown to misquote a former US Defence Secretary.
