UK should 'lead way' on defence spending as threat now 'much greater' than Cold War
Wednesday, 3 April 2024 A former Conservative defence secretary has urged the UK to "lead the way" on defence spending, warning the country is facing a greater threat now than during the Cold War.
Ukraine launched a massive drone and missile attack on Russian territories, damaging factories and closing schools. In retaliation, Russia fired its hypersonic "Oreshnik" missile, escalating tensions. Putin warned of a potential global conflict, accusing the US and Britain of enabling Ukraine’s strikes. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump called for a ceasefire, questioning Washington's future support for Ukraine. As casualties rise and millions are displaced, the crisis mirrors Cold War-era tensions, pushing the West and Moscow into dangerous territory.

In this video, we explore the growing tensions between the U.S. and Russia over nuclear policies. During his presidency, Donald Trump took a radical stance against the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), fueling global fears of a return to nuclear testing. As the possibility of an arms race looms, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning, threatening retaliation. In 2024, Cold War-era tensions are reemerging, raising concerns about the future of arms control and international security.
