UK must build own nuclear missiles to end US reliance, says Ed Davey in c/world@lemmy.world

This belies a complete and total ignorance of the entire topic of strategic nuclear deterrence, and an extremely naive geopolitical worldview.

For case studies of why nuclear deterrence is important, and why a lack thereof can be catastrophic to the state in question, see:

  • Ukraine
  • Iran
  • North Korea (is effectively un-invadeable because of their nuclear weapons)

Moreover, this is not an escalation. It’s moving towards strategic independence from a (former) ally that has become deeply unreliable.

Of all the oil companies, BP gets approval? For an ultra deep water drilling project? In the Gulf of Mexico?

Sure would be a shame if some enterprising individuals found a way to attack the ships they’ll use to set that up with shahed-style drones.

“Vibe” is intended to mean an overall indirect but generally non-explicit representation of some concept.

This is just orangeboi openly ranting about eugenics.

Tbh this just sounds like a FAFO situation with climate change and erosion. I’m sure Florida will enjoy the constant coastal flooding.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

PLAN's new amphibious landing support vessels (youtu.be)
 

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
