British Chief of Staff warns of a third world war

 The Chief of Defense Staff in Britain warned that the global uncertainty and anxiety prevailing in light of the economic crisis due to the Coronavirus pandemic may herald ignite the fuse of a third world war.

In an interview to mark the "Sunday of Remembrance" to honor those who lost their lives and were injured in the conflict, Britain's Chief of Defense Staff Nick Carter said that any escalation of regional tensions or miscalculations could eventually lead to a full-scale conflict.

He added to Sky News: "I think we live in a time in which the world has become a place dominated by mystery and great anxiety. The dynamism of global competition is a feature of our time of course, and I see that the real danger we face is that we witness an escalation that leads to a miscalculation in light of the presence of many regional conflicts." At present".

In response to a question about whether there is a real threat of another world war, Carter said: "I say it is one of the dangers and we have to be aware of these risks."

Carter, who became commander of the British Army in 2018, said it was important to remember those who died in past wars as a warning to those who might repeat past mistakes.

He added, "If you forget the horrors of wars, the great danger from my point of view is that some may think that going to war is a rational decision."

He continued: "We must remember that history may not repeat itself, but it has a rhythm, and if we go back to the last century before the two world wars, then I think without a doubt that there was an escalation that led to a miscalculation, which ultimately led to a war on a scale that we hope we will never see again.
