World faces threat and Cays Sandys on nuclear deterrence
In a speech to the ABC's guests of honour, Mr. Sandys emphasized that no nation can defend itself alone against a vast arsenal, urging alliances. He noted 40,000 UK troops in Malaya and Singapore plus Australian and New Zealand forces, with plans to keep land and air power in the area alongside the Far East Fleet. He warned conventional forces cannot withstand a full-scale Russian and Chinese attack without NATO SEATO backing and stressed the deterrent value of nuclear retaliation to prevent total war.
