PM: To deter conflict you must prepare for war
Britain needs to be “war-ready”. The country is facing “a new era of threat”. Stark language from the Prime Minister ahead of a strategic defence review released later today.
All the while, Germany’s most senior military officer predicted a Russian attack on NATO’s eastern borders within the next four years and Ukraine demonstrated what modern warfare looks like by launching a wave of drone strikes on four airfields all over Russia
