“The lesson is simple: A somewhat less perfect system, but one that can be produced in large numbers, can have greater military value than an excellent system that cannot be manufactured at scale,"
Such a good read for context who wants what & who really wins when a world is at war. #ArmsRace

The background is made of stacked martini glasses with the negative space being little houses. Beyond that is interwoven geometric patterns.

Why so much? Why ever more?
Military Spending

We spend more on weapons for security…
but end up feeling even more insecure 🤔

Are we actually safer, or just stuck in a security dilemma?

UK Nuclear Submarine Base Risks and Global Nuclear Arms Escalation The article examines growing nuclear threats through the lens of Britain's Devonport dockyard in Plymouth, the UK's primary site for maintaining, refueling, and decommissioning nuclear-powered submarines. Operated by Babcock International, the facility has seen significant profits from nuclear-related work, yet surrounding communities remain economically disadvantaged. Twelve of 16 decommissioned submarines there still hold nuclear fuel, creating an on-site waste stockpile. At least 10 major radioactive leaks have occurred over 30 years, with contaminants like plutonium, americium, and tritium detected along the nearby coastline and wildlife areas. Former workers report health issues such as cancer, linked to exposure, amid a pervasive culture of secrecy. Local preparations include stockpiles of iodine tablets for potential radiation incidents in the residential zone. The piece ties this to broader UK investment in nuclear capabilities—£4.4 billion planned over a decade—and high military budget allocation to nuclear weapons (13% in 2024, the highest globally), framing them as central to defense and NATO commitments. Globally, it highlights accelerating nuclear modernization across all nine nuclear-armed states (US, Russia, UK, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea), with spending up over 32% in recent years. Amid ongoing conflicts involving nuclear powers, the trend reverses long-term warhead reductions. Experts criticize nuclear deterrence as a flawed belief system, while the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons offers a path to disarmament via binding elimination programs. The article warns of catastrophic humanitarian and climate impacts from even limited nuclear use, contrasting massive arms spending with unmet needs like famine relief.
