Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned that the next few years will be the “most dangerous period” Britain has ever seen. While this may very well be true, one of the problems is that people are too used to living in a happy world, says intelligence expert Crispin Black.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned that the next few years will be the “most dangerous period” Britain has ever seen.
Mr Sunak today made a desperate appeal in the lead-up to the general election, rattling off a list of things voters should fear. In his speech in London, the Prime Minister described the challenges posed by the “axis of authoritarian states” including Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
He accused President Vladimir Putin of “weaponizing” migrants, criticized China for targeting British MPs and said “aggressive fringe groups” were taking advantage of the uncertainty. I warned you that there was. He said: “At some point in the second half of this year, we will all be going to the polls and making a choice, not just Tory versus Labor or Sunak versus Starmer.
“It will be a choice between the future and the past. I am now confident that our party can win, not just because of our track record, not just because of some vague lofty cliché, but because of my Because we are the only party that truly speaks about the future, with bold ideas and clear plans that can transform our society, move us forward for the better, and restore people’s faith and pride in our country.”
But intelligence expert Lieutenant-Colonel Crispin Black MBE told the Mirror in an exclusive interview that Mr Sunak’s fears were likely to be true and that “people are so used to living in a happy world” that they pose a threat. said it could become even more realistic.
He told the Mirror: “People are all too used to living in a happy world. Russia could once again pose an existential threat to Europe and the UK, something we have had to deal with for almost 40 years. It’s something that didn’t exist.” Did you ever think in the 1970s and his 1980s that we would one day experience intense Cold War nostalgia? At the time, a frightening time when the threat of nuclear war seemed like a constant threat, Russia’s vast armored force stood on its then-Eastern border. West Germany with good routes to the Rhine.
“But at least the other side, NATO, has fielded a strong military with the will and capability to defeat the enemy and some degree of strategic defense. Perhaps under US command, we would be able to use the GSFG (our intelligence NATO does not have many strongholds along the Rhine these days, and the alliance’s eastern border in the Baltics is not a good place to fight, according to the report. .
“Of course, the real problem is not Vladimir Putin, but the rise of his main sponsor, China. The intention of Western politicians was to lock China into a rules-based club presided over by the United States. The Chinese have never seen anything like that.”When our country was the top power (from the victory at Trafalgar in 1805 to the beginning of World War I in 1914), in most places. It’s no surprise that we won. Royal Navy: In 1945 we were forced to relinquish our top position to the Americans.
“Few people realized that the power of one English-speaking country was being handed over to another. Like us, they took the initiative and created the Pax Britannica, an extension of Pax Britannica. But the US has not been in the lead for some time (roughly since the Kabul fiasco in August 2021), and as US hegemony declines, chaos is sure to ensue. I don’t think it would be fun.
“Some of the main characters are undoubtedly evil, but what we are seeing is a natural historical process, however difficult and risky, not an inevitable slide towards war.” What can we do? Same thing we’ve always done (although it’s usually too late) – spend more (a lot) on defense and spend money on other things. Now is the time to stand by America, not by butter. Still, we pray that our most important allies will make some decisions. And cherish wisdom.”
