@Gentleman_Ways He’s being cautious about drinking that Gibson!

The UK’s Britania missile shield appears to be a 10-year development project. Does this represent a shift from deterrence by punishment to deterrence by denial?

@TheRealJamieKay A lot of modern packaging is ridicules sometimes needing a pair of cutters to get into, then presented with razor sharp plastic to contend with.

@michaelpshipley @PetronellaWyatt Something like that!

@PetronellaWyatt Did Bess marry Clarke, certainly didn’t look his type but this is Hollywood!

@PetronellaWyatt Hollywood marriages and divorces could make an entertaining new family board game!

@Tom_Antonov Has “forward deterrence” been replaced by “advanced deterrence”? If so, what does “advanced deterrence” mean?

Has France launched a submarine-based missile recently?

@afneil Do we know what we want to protect?

@BrunoTertrais Any large-scale nuclear conflict would be driven not by maximising gains, but by minimising losses.

@cosmosarcive What’s your favourite atomic particle?

@NEXORAResearch It is fascinating to imagine future wars dominated by robots of every kind: no trenches, no prisoners, and no heroes—an entirely non-human conflict driven by technology and industry as the centre of gravity, making such wars likely to be more violent and prolonged.

@aidefranceukr French nuclear forces lack the diversity, scale+operational posture to provide Ukraine with a nuclear umbrella also lacks proportionate response options, leaving escalation to the strategic level it has nuclear-capable aircraft, but they do not constitute a credible deterrent.

[[email protected] @peterfarsk63777]

@restitutorII The assumption that nuclear conflict would inevitably escalate to MAD may be misguided. Intra-war deterrence could persist as long as both sides retained assets they valued. Capital cities would probably be spared initially to leave room for negotiation.

@frog_of_war Has “forward deterrence” now been replaced by advanced deterrence?

@BoylanRoger Why is he standing on one leg?
