Last week, British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps warned that there is a growing expectation that in the next five years there will be wars involving China, North Korea, Russia and Iran and said that “the world is moving to a pre-war state”.

The head of the British army also said that British citizens should be “trained and equipped” in order to fight a potential war with Russia, and described life today as a “pre-war generation”.

British Chief of Staff Sir Patrick Sanders has called for a significant increase in military manpower, fueling public anxiety about the immediate recruitment of young men, while a former NATO chief said now is the time to consider it. Sanders emphasized that the war in Ukraine is a “pressure cooker” and added that “we cannot afford to make the same mistake as our predecessors, who were dragged into horrific wars.”

Various experts explained to the Sky News network that “we are living in dangerous times, and the killing of the American soldiers at the base in Jordan by an Iranian drone only increased the possibility that the conflict in the Middle East will deteriorate and become worse. The warnings are here and now, there is enormous global uncertainty and the period of unilateral power Meaning of the USA is over. The ‘spark’ for the next major world conflict may turn out to be the events of October 7th. Four months since the outbreak of the events, and the US is being dragged deeper and deeper into the regional conflict.”

They further emphasized: “The main question right now is how the US can restore its deterrence after the attack on the base in Jordan, without causing the conflict to flare up? There are really no good choices here. A direct attack on Iran is one way, but it could also open Pandora’s box, and we have already seen how little the attacks against the Houthis in Yemen have achieved. All this of course comes when Russia is at war with Ukraine (and the West) and China is increasing its aggression towards Taiwan. It still doesn’t mean we’re on the way to World War III – but it also doesn’t mean we’re not.”
