Dear MEL Topic Readers,
UK labels Russia top security threat, issues warning on China, and promises to build more nuclear warheads
On March 16, the UK government released a 116-page report titled “Global Britain in a Competitive Age.” The Prime minister stressed that the nation can prosper and fulfill its historic mission as a force for the good by the expanded military and science investment. The increase in defense, science, and technology spending surpasses the investment to tackle climate change, biodiversity, or coronavirus. It specifically identifies Russia as the biggest security threat to the nation and also China in the Indo-Pacific region. The plan includes a 33% increase in nuclear warheads, more nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, and more frequent deployment of their troops overseas. The UK also intends to maintain competitive capabilities not only on Earth but also in space. In short, the once-world-empire seems to reaffirm its commitment to be competitive and influential in today's and future world.
