Simon Case, former head of the civil service, warns that the next 10 to 20 years will be characterized by inter-state conflict. In an interview, he calls for the UK to consider new nuclear deterrent options, including deploying land or jet-fired missiles, as part of its upcoming strategic defence review. He emphasizes that reliance on a single deterrent system is unwise and suggests increasing UK defense spending to 3%, highlighting the urgency for the government to prepare for future conflicts as global tensions rise.
In my view you wouldn't rely on a single system for anything. That's true in many walks of life, let alone nuclear deterrence.
As I look out on my children's lives, the next 10 and probably 20 years is going to be dominated by this inter-state conflict.
