nuclear war, the Cuban missile crisis incident that I was describing with the submarine, that's often referred to the man who saved the world.
And then Petrov is also sometimes referred to as the man who saved the world.
We've quite simply been, have had so many incidences where we just actually got lucky.
And there are scholars who really kind of study all of these examples who say, no, no, no, it's not the nuclear deterrence has worked.
It's that we have really been very lucky.
It actually gets much better than that.
The UK has nuclear warheads.
They're their own nuclear warheads.
But the only way they can launch them is using US delivery systems.
And so it's not just that they have them, it's that it actually will help them to have a viable, you know, quote unquote nuclear deterrent.
So that one's actually in our corner squarely.
And we just recently...
transferred or began transferring some nuclear warheads onto UK soil.
It was something we used to do and then we removed them and now we brought them back.
Ukraine and Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Yeah.
And we actually have, so it's, we, of course, have our own nuclear weapons.
And then we have on our territory, as well as in these submarines that travel all around the planet.
And we also have nuclear warheads in five other, now six countries.
because it's clear we brought some back to the United Kingdom.
