UK military chief warns that the world is at the dawn of a third nuclear age

ai generated text

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has identified a shift in global dynamics, suggesting the world is on the brink of a third nuclear age. He describes this era as more complex and nuanced compared to the Cold War, with increased threats and challenges. The outlook for the future is perceived as "more contested, more ambiguous, and more dangerous," driven by the spread of nuclear weapons and emerging technologies. Admiral Radakin warns that NATO faces multiple dilemmas, and Ukraine's war with Russia raises growing fears of its potential outcome.

    4. The stakes are clear: if we fail to act we risk falling further behind.
    5. Global power is shifting, and a third nuclear age is upon us.
    6. Our unity, cohesion, economies can withstand this pressure. We should not fret, nor buckle.
    7. In this sense, Russia is showing us how not to fight. And Israel, in its response to Iran, has shown us the disproportionate advantage of modern ways of fighting.

    1. In a war of scale — not a limited intervention but one similar to Ukraine — our army, for example on the current casualty rates, would be expended, as part of a broader multinational coalition, in six months to a year.
