As tonight’s unfolding #Ukraine tragedy underscores only too starkly—

—the @POTUS @JoeBiden Administration MUST PRESERVE (extended)#DETERRENCE 100% in the forthcoming #Nuclear Posture Review/#NPR.

Must avoid not only “#NoFirstUse/#NFU”—BUT ALSO “#SolePurpose”—road to perdition!
Virtue signaling is no substitute for #deterrence signaling!

The #NPR must avoid not only widely-dismissed “#NoFirstUse” (#NFU) language, but also the dangerous concept of “#SolePurpose.”

Text/graphics from @DeptofDefense 2021 #China #Military Power Report show key reasons why. ImageImageImageImage
#SolePurpose” = unacceptably erosive/destabilizing, not a no-or-low-cost #VirtueSignaling sop to #ArmsControl idealism.

Would reduce credibility/#deterrent of @POTUS’s potential counters to massive #conventional offensives by #Russia/#China.

How much difference is due to ACP/MACP and what/assured career these lollipops have given?

A sepoy retired as sepoy after 17 yrs with one ACP hardly has any benefits in salary or pension but he can be forced retired at 33 years is the actual pain.

Everyone fighting for the "sepoy" quoting him in the examples, building case of #OROP 2.0 revision around him forgot that he was the least beneficiary of the #OROP 1.0 being the lowest rank and minimum QS.

He was the one to whom OROP should only be given by the @PMOIndia

Once promoted and chance to serve available but choose to hang boots at his own will after exhausting chances of further promotion or being superseded are considered for #OROP was the biggest blunder of @DefenceMinIndia

They realised it and now cautious enough.

Let's look at the numbers:

92% of the British Public want current farm animal welfare standards to be maintained in trade negotiations with the US and other countries.

78% of the British Public think that our animal welfare standards are high.

So why would we want to lower them?
