Looks like ignorants are being schooled by their own tweets now.
Tara Kartha's domain expertise and the subject of the article are in complete antithesis to each other. She is a complete novice in the military field and shouldn't be writing obvious nonsense. Maybe she should write a thesis on coronavirus, ignorants will still lap it up citing her 17 years in the Cabinet Secretariat.
This is a typical case of ignorants being fooled by vested interests.
Every single line in her article is basically saying the miltiary are a bunch of dreamers and the MoD are a bunch of fools. Only ignorants will consider discussing such nonsense "on its merits".
The reality is we need equipment in order to fight China at the level we need and we don't have everything we need yet. And if we can't afford everything we need, then we buy what we can and hope it's enough to create a posture for deterrence or prevent further escalation in case things go to sh!t.
You can't change this reality into some cooked-up, fabricated reality where everything is hunky dory if you simply change your "attitude". We are not talking about feelings and emotions and changing your outlook towards life. The forces' answers are not going to be found in group a therapy session. But her 17 years in the Cabinet Secretariat gave her the "realistic" idea of eating noodles with a spoon. So yeah, let's discuss "on its merits" how and why the military are morons for suggesting they need forks instead, such complete dolts. "But look, she has a PhD and a whole article on The Print, so she must be amazing. Oh, and I must be amazing too, for recognising her greatness, which is actually the main point anyway".
