General Sir Roland Walker stated that the UK faces threats from Russia and three other countries. He noted that the army must be ready for war within three years.
Walker predicted that Russian President Vladimir Putin will become “very dangerous” after the war in Ukraine and may seek revenge against Western countries that supported Ukraine. This could happen regardless of whether Russia wins or loses.
The general also suggested a potential invasion of Taiwan by China, discussed Iran’s intentions to develop nuclear weapons, and reminded of the threat from North Korea. He mentioned that these four countries are strengthening their ties by exchanging weapons and technologies.
According to him, by 2027-2028, these countries could achieve a level of unity that would significantly complicate the ability to confront them individually. Walker emphasized that the UK is not necessarily on the path to war but needs to restore its military strength for deterrence.
Additionally, the Chief Inspector of the German Armed Forces, Karsten Breuer, stated that Russia could be ready to attack NATO in 5-8 years, having gathered sufficient troops and weapons.
In conclusion, it can be logically inferred that supporting Ukrainian defenders is critical to stopping the aggressor now. If aggression is not stopped in Ukraine, it could have serious consequences for all of Europe and the world. Supporting Ukraine helps deter Russia and reduces the likelihood of the conflict spreading to other countries.
