UOTC pumps out carbon copy young officers, filtering out those from more diverse (in every way, class/race/thought) backgrounds. They’re often great at soldiering, because that’s all the UOTC does, but I’d argue the Officer Corps suffers for that lack of diversity.

Hi Andrew, I’m not sure it’s accurate to use nominal GDP statistics over Russia. Far better to use Purchasing Power Parity to give an accurate reflection of the size of its economy. Italy couldn’t sustain the kind of military spending Russia can.

Current thinking re the Falklands is to have a significant enough presence (1500 in 2023 vs ~50 in 1982) so as to make an invasion very difficult to mount in the first place.

This makes for grim reading. The prognosis for Ukraine is utterly bleak, the fall of Avdiivka simply laid bare what has been true for some time: Ukraine doesn't have enough kit, enough ammunition or enough men.
The Russians, meanwhile, are learning and growing.
War isn't a 100-meter dash; it's a marathon.
Months ago, as with Bakhmut, Avdiivka fell after intense fighting, but one thing remains common: the Russians can be delayed, but they never cease their advance. The fall of Avdiivka signifies that even in defensive positions and

While we all bemoan the current state of the Army, I do fundamentally agree with this. We’re *great* at operating.
We’re shit at strategy and procurement. But the isn’t the fault of our people, who perform admirably despite being failed repeatedly by the powers that be.
Army’s outgoing CGS hails troops for standing strong despite record cuts…
“You are the most productive army in Europe, deployed in more places globally than any other, and delivering the same operational outputs as when we were 25,000 stronger.”

With respect, Patrick, not sure I agree. Ukraine is heavily dependent on foreign aid, and the key to that is to continue to win the narrative and portray Russia as a barbaric pariah state vs Democratic Ukraine.

But they did. That borrowing was offset by higher economic growth and a reduction in Defence spending as a % of GDP in the post war era - which kept that debt sustainable.
It was good policy, but neither of those things are likely now. So what is she going to do about it?
