Are we heading for World War Three?
Nuclear sabre-rattling by Russia, a US-China trade war and stalled talks about an Iranian nuclear deal are flashpoints for global conflict
Russia is again raising the spectre of World War Three as tensions between the West and the Kremlin over the war in Ukraine continue to escalate.
Comments made by the former Russian president Dimitri Medvedev last week were described as "reckless" by Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy to Ukraine. Just days later, Vladimir Solovyov, "the Kremlin's most prominent TV propagandist", warned that Britain is facing a nuclear Armageddon, "the latest in a long line of threats against the UK from Vladimir Putin's mouthpieces", said the Irish Star.
"From Iran's nuclear ambitions, to China's threats to Taiwan, to Putin's designs on a Russian sphere of influence in Ukraine and beyond", said The Telegraph, many of Britain's biggest companies are increasingly alert to the prospect of a major global conflict, with 2027 viewed as the "moment of maximum danger".
