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.

“#SolePurpose” = unacceptably erosive/destabilizing, not a no-or-low-cost #VirtueSignaling sop to #ArmsControl idealism.

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to serve available but choose to hang boots at his own will after exhausting chances of further promotion or being superseded are considered for #OROP was the biggest blunder of @DefenceMinIndia

🧵 on why you should be worried about Cummings ordering MPs to betray YOU by breaking Govt's manifesto pledge to uphold or even enhance our food, #AnimalWelfare & #Environment standards —plus why MPs should listen to you and vote for the Lords Amdts to the #AgricultureBill🚜:
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.
