London: A senior British military commander has caused a global sensation by warning of a ‘third nuclear age’. This senior commander has warned that the world is on the brink of a “third nuclear age”. It is defined by multiple challenges and weak security measures. Chief of Defense Staff Admiral Tony Radakin said that while the likelihood of a direct nuclear attack by Russia on Britain or its NATO allies was low, Britain needed to recognize the seriousness of the threats it faced in the current circumstances.
Redkin said that despite international efforts to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons over the past three decades, the current era “is altogether more complex. While international efforts in the Cold War kept the two superpowers apart through nuclear deterrence, “we are at the beginning. One of the challenges facing the West is the threat of a third nuclear age Russia using strategic nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The drive to expand its stockpile includes Iran’s failure to cooperate with international efforts to limit its nuclear program and North Korea’s “erratic behavior.”
An attempt to destabilize the West
All this comes against the backdrop of increasing cyber attacks, sabotage and disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing the West, the British military commander claimed. He called the deployment of North Korean troops alongside Russian forces on the Ukrainian border “the most extraordinary development” of the year and warned that more deployments were possible. An annual lecture by the Chief of the Defense Staff is a tradition at RUSI, one of the country’s leading think tanks on UK military and strategic issues. Redkin used the lecture to make a case for continuous reform in the British Army. So Britain is ready to respond to a changing international landscape. He said this included Britain’s nuclear deterrent, which is “part of our inventory and about which Russia is most aware.”
