The clock will start its countdown to World War Three in 2025 ahead of a “big grab” by Vladimir Putin which will force the UK to use force, warns a global affairs expert. Tensions are simmering around the world with war between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East as well as the conflict in Ukraine while China is being accused of espionage in the UK and other Western countries. And as we head into the New Year two experts in international relations agree that 2025 is only likely to see the situation deteriorate with the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House.
Prof Anthony Glees from the University of Buckingham believes that Putin will stick to his long term plan of taking back all the countries which were part of the USSR. And Prof John Strawson from the University of East London says 2025 will see the “greatest challenges to international order since World War 2 ended 80 years ago”.
Prof Strawson explained: “The dangers stem from the rise of great power rivalry and the decline of international cooperation. In 1945 the Allies created the United Nations even before the war ended with the aim of promoting a new world order, in the 2020’s that order has effectively collapsed as we can see in the wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and the tensions over Taiwan.
"Trump’s victory in the US elections is a symptom that international instability is having an impact on domestic politics. Donald Trump’s well-known unpredictability symbolizes this and underlines how the domestic situation of the main powers has an impact on international relations. All this makes 2025 a dangerous year.” Prof Glees is sure that Trump will seek to impose a peace on Russia and Ukraine but he believes that a deal will not affect Putin’s expansionist ambitions. And the West is better off preparing for war, which he says is the “most important thing we can do to prevent one”.
