Part 6/9:
In discussions about the future of military strategy, the challenges surrounding nuclear deterrence cannot be overlooked. Maintaining a credible nuclear arsenal is essential for Britain’s security posture, especially considering the threats posed by unpredictable regimes. Bailey argued that the current arsenal exists as a key deterrent and must be sustained, both in terms of financial backing and military resourcing.
His perspective places importance on the notion that credibility, transparency, and accountability are crucial components of effective deterrence strategies. Each step toward increased military capacity and enhanced nuclear readiness must be carefully articulated to the public for broader support and understanding.
