“The era of the peace dividend is over”.
These were the words of UK defence secretary Grant Shapps during a speech last month.
In five years’ time, Shapps warned, Britain “could be looking at multiple theatres” of war involving Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
Shapps’ speech came four days after the UK government ordered a first round of airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen.
