Strategic vs Tactical Nuclear Gaps
- Collingwood explains the UK and France lack credible tactical nuclear options despite strategic submarines.
- He says this gap motivates Britain to consider air‑launched tactical nuclear capabilities independent of the US.
Pakistan‑Saudi Pact Signals Regional Realignment

- Collingwood links the deal to Chinese influence and a reshaping of Middle Eastern alignments away from the US.
