Would backdate this to SDSR 2010 but yeah
Right. Today’s bad media round is the inevitable consequence of, frankly, bad decisions and optimism bias since Crimea was invaded.

AND why people keep going on about "aircraft carriers without any aircraft" - because the Harriers that the QECs would've flown before F35 delivery were scrapped in the 2010 SDSR

The SDSR is invariably a timeless (i.e. ages well), clear-eyed analysis that everyone should read.

🇬🇧 "Avec les Malouines, on va gagner un peu de temps, mais le ver est dans le fruit. La bascule dans l'abîme se fait en 2010, lorsque le gouvernement Cameron, oui, le connard du Brexit, décide de faire passer le Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR)"

Genuinely think SDSR 2010 was the worst British defence disaster since Suez

In 2011 House of Commons Defence Select Committee published a critical review of the SDSR. The review had led to wide-ranging cuts to Armed Forces, which were widely criticised for damaging the capabilities of the British military and left Britain unprepared in a changing international environment

The whole of the "all of society approach to resilience" section in the SDSR is total guff. The revealed pref of every govt of the last two decades is to shy away from any kind of demand mgmt messaging. Allies rightly roll their eyes about it.

Imagine if the Lansley reforms had abolished cancer treatment, that's kind of what SDSR 2010 did to Naval aviation

As ever, it's George Osborne's fault for doing SDSR 2010

Yes, I think the real blunder here is SDSR 2010; certainly across the Coalition govt it becomes clear UK needs to ramp up defence production but austerity precludes that

SDSR 2010 may actually have been a blunder on the scale of Suez

As the UK is reeling from another defence review. Here are some depresssing images from the aftermath of SDSR 2010 when Nimrod MRA.4 was scrapped. ZJ515/B the second production example, being towed to the scrapping compound for the axemans torch. #avgeek #aviation #tbthursday

It is basically Iraq/Afghanistan onwards and particularly 2010 SDSR that things have been going slowly wrong.
February 16, 2025 at 6:39 PM
One of the first big rounds of austerity cuts was SDSR iirc, and that was utterly nuts
January 24, 2024 at 1:40 PM
There's an SDSR underway. The thing is the British Army is smaller now than at any time since roughly 1790. Unsustainable in a skills perspective, nevermind the increasingly entertaining security space that Europe finds itself in.

Really the inflection point was the 2010 SDSR

Et c'est aussi par le biais du militantisme anti-genre, anti-SDSR que les US influencent les pays africains (bien que le cas du Nigeria soit un peu particulier avec le dev d'un évangelisme local).
Comment les ultraconservateurs américains exportent leur croisade anti-LGBT en Afrique
Des conférences prônant l’hostilité envers les personnes LGBTQ+, soutenues par des groupes américains, gagnent du terrain sur le continent africain, alimentant lois répressives et climat de haine. …

The 2010 SDSR certainly nuked Tory support among a lot of the officer corps. Before the 2024 GE I read about how a lot of ex officers were standing for the LD’s

Not criticising at all. I have a FitBit and think the data collection is dodgy AF plus it's Google, plus I once raised a sdsr with the FitBit Partner Health Connect and they refused to answer.
