U.K. Boosts Defense Spending in Response to Russia and China
TimeAPR 2023
The UK government presented a bleak, albeit realistic, outlook of the global security environment, with predictions of further deterioration in international relations in the coming years. With a growth in the number of advanced weapons systems and an increasingly aggressive political space, Western nations are right to take proactive actions, such as this revised policy.
Many western politicians seem as eager as ever to continue waging their proxy war against Russia and China. “Armchair generals” see the conflict in Ukraine as a zero-sum game, but it's not their troops dying on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak is stepping up military aid for a decisive victory over Russia while at the same time beefing up the UK’s defense budget, provoking another conflict in the Pacific.
