Coffee House Shots: how prepared is Britain for war?
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
General Sir Nick Carter, former chief of the defence staff, joins Tim Shipman to discuss Britain's military preparedness – or rather, lack thereof. While a friendlier US presence at the Munich Security Conference may have provided some relief, the military threats to the UK and to Europe presented are still stark. So what choices need to be addressed to ensure that Britain is equipped to deal with these threats? Is the government doing enough to address the awareness gap with the public? And how could AI change warfare?
Tim's cover piece, Defenceless: the grim truth about Britain's military, can be found here.
