Is Britain prepared for an increasingly dangerous world and what happens if the UK can no longer rely on the United States?
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Crawford, former British Army officer and defence analyst, warns that while he does not believe the world is on the brink of World War Three, Britain must prepare for the possibility of a major conflict if it wants to maintain peace.
Alicia Kearns, Shadow Minister for National Security & Foreign Affairs, then joins the discussion to examine Britain’s support for Ukraine, Donald Trump’s approach to Russia and the prospect of the US shifting its focus away from Europe.
She warns that Britain must prepare for a future in which American priorities may no longer align with its own, while strengthening its relationships with NATO and European allies.
