[Quintus Fabius]

Hier mal eine meiner Meinung nach recht gute Zusammenfassung der aktuellen Zustände. Die Diskussion in den Kommentaren dazu ist auch recht wertvoll:

The key question is what level of increased defence expenditure is needed to counter the growing threats we face? Our most expensive capability, the Trident nuclear deterrent, is also our most critical, because it is the ultimate guarantee of our security. The need for complete certainty that it would perform as required if needed it is what makes it so costly. While Trident reduces what we need to spend on conventional forces, a total reliance on nuclear weapons means they become the only option in the event of a major attack. So we need to balance the minimum level of conventional forces needed to deter a non-nuclear attack with what we can realistically afford.
