Trying to auction nuclear warheads might get some unwelcome gatecrashers
(besides, most of the customers are short on manners, and might decide
that it was easier to kill other bidders than match their price, then
the auctioneer gets hit in the crossfire, and where's your profit then?)

You have to be kidding - I don't see coward Bushy invading the countries
that actually HAVE nukes.

Nor do I. Though the idea that the USA would invade a western,
European democracy is ludicrous anyway.

The situation you mention is that Scotland
did not get her fair share and had impounded all the UK's nukes and the
means to deliver them. Bushy is stupid but not that stupid.

The UK has 200-400 nukes so Scotland's share would be about 20-40.
Under the terms of the Vienna convention, Scotland would be a
nuclear weapon state as far as the Non Proliferation Treaty was
concerned.
