I think another thing The Wargame and this conflict shows is that defence strategy that depends heavily on a partner intervening (Iran Aligned Militas for Iran, the US for the UK) is very exposed to sudden shifts in those partner's policies/capabilities. A partner's disposition can change within a year, your organic defence capabilities cannot.
You can probably count on one hand the number of countries that are truly prepared for 21st century conventional war.
Agreed. Ideally, the UK (and our allies) would eventually be amongst them!
