As the world comes under fire from terror attacks, escalating hostility between Russia and the US, and repeated shows of strength from the North Korean regime, a full-blown war could soon be more likely than ever.
Here’s what’s happened so far:
2018
(April 21): North Korea says it has suspended long-range missile tests and plans to shut its nuclear test site, a day before Kim is due to meet his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in. US President Donald Trump welcomes the news saying it was a sign of “progress being made for all”.
(April 16):Kim Jong-un raged that Britain moving Navy ships close to North Korean waters is “nothing short of an act of war”.
(April 15): Boris Johnson defends “standing up for civilised values” with Syria bombing raids.
(April 14): Donald Trump announces a coalition of US, UK and French forces have launched a coordinated air strike. The MoD deem the mission a success. Theresa May says there was “no alternative” to military force. Russia warns that there “will be consequences” following the raids.
(April 12):__ Cabinet backed UK intervention in Syria “to deter the further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime”.
(April 11):Defence chiefs in Russia say they will respond “immediately” if their military units in Syria are hit in any US airstrikes.
(April 11): Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon has said US missiles fired at Syria would be shot down and the launch sites targeted.
(April 7):__ A suspected nerve agent attack in Douma, Syria leaves 70 dead and prompts Donald Trump to brand Bashar al-Assad an “animal” and a “butcher”.
(March 14): Russia said there would be retaliation if the UK implemented any new measures and a spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry said Britain must not try to threaten Moscow, pointing to Putin’s recent speech in which he presented a range of new nuclear weapons. Trump has said the US sides with the UK.
(March 13): After the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Prime Minister Theresa May threatened to implement a range of possible reprisals against Russia.
Yes for real its been blooming for quiet sometime, at any minute things can go from bad to worst.
