Teaching Fellow, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Reading. Interests focus on British defence policy over the last 200 years.
UK Defence
— Britain lacks the military capability for a prolonged conflict, yet Keir Starmer has proposed deploying troops to Ukraine. However, years of defence cuts have left the UK unable to deter aggression, despite NATO’s growing security concerns.
War in Ukraine
— French President Macron doesn’t exclude the possibility of deploying Western troops to Ukraine following a meeting with European leaders. However, the question remains: could the deployment of ground troops to Ukraine provoke a broader and more dangerous conflict with Russia?
War in Ukraine
— Article 5 of the Nato treaty calls for collective defence if a member nation is attacked. But some Nato countries further from the conflict zone might be reluctant to send combat forces even in the event that Article 5 is triggered.
