UK faces ‘UNPARALLELED’ risk from nuclear and chemical weapons, says MoD report
THE UK is facing an “unparalleled” threat due to more and more countries developing nuclear weapons as well as the ignoring on chemical weapons bans, according to a new report.
Gavin Williamson warns ISIS could be linking up with UK jihadis
It warned that missiles could be seized and used to perform attacks on the UK and its interests.
The report also warned about the using up of the Earth’s natural resources causing mass migration which could help to start more wars.
The reports came from a MoD think tank called the Development Concepts and Doctrine Centre.
This report was used by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson to get more funding.
This report makes clear that we are living in a world becoming rapidly more dangerous
He said: “This report makes clear that we are living in a world becoming rapidly more dangerous.”
According to the Future Starts Today, the world has reached a very critical point when it comes to security.
It claimed that the main threats that have been identified by military experts are speeding up in order to create “new and unparalleled risks”.
In 2017, North Korea test-launched a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range missile in the capital Pyongyang.
After this occurred many used this as a justification for the need to build up a country’s armed forces.
There is a fear among some military chiefs that a new group could rise as ISIS continues to weaken.
There is also the fear of North Korea’s intoned testing of long-range ballistic missiles and their nuclear capabilities.
The use of a nerve agent to attack the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal has also been used as an indication that countries are becoming increasingly aggressive.
Another concern is the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons during the civil war.
The MoD reviews the global risks every five years.
However, they said that this new report was developed in just two years.
