'World closer to nuclear escalation than at any point since Cuban missile crisis,' warns Rishi Sunak

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has warned the world is closer to a nuclear escalation.

He highlights Russia, Iran, North Korea and China as states working to "undermine" the UK's values.

Talking specifically about Vladimir Putin, he says the Russian president's "recklessness has taken us closer to a dangerous nuclear escalation than at any point since the Cuban missile crisis".

No one wants to fight for a country that is against its own people.

[paulmccallum]

The dangers that threaten our country are within.

[BobBuilder-mqwr]

Our country wouldn't have any threats but our goverment insists on starting fights

[forrestedmountains]

Scare mongering, be it Russia iran n Korea. To divert attention from the real issues at home.

[bikokch]

Technically our gov is part of the cause of escalation.

[Ukbrummie]

Lets start by actually electing our prime minister!

As a non-Brit who’s been living in the UK for “only” 17 years, I can only imagine how frustrated British people actually are for constantly being bombarded with lies and red herrings. This has to stop for everyone’s sake! Western values are constantly being undermined and we are unfortunately growing weaker and weaker

The sheep need to be scared to keep them in line

Rishi Sunak should review his history books: Cuban crisis was specifically because the US would not accept Russian missiles on its doorstep so could Rishi tell us why Russia today should accept Nato threats on its doorstep ??? Mr Sunak and his squad should focus on working hard to improve the life of citizens in the UK instead of provoking a mighty giant like Russia ...

What a gaslighting hypocrite. I can’t stand this man and the Tories

[mchaplin]

well stop getting involved in wars and look for peace

[popthis]

Will NEVER fight for this government NEVER!!! GET YOUR BOOTS ON TORIES !

[MrLaking]

gaslighting is nothing to the Tories now they are deluded they don't know what is right or wrong

[PhilMcAuley]

could these politicians sink any lower?

[minteastwood]

Does treason still carry the death penalty?

[tasfiqgta]

Does he actually think we don't know the truth 😂😂😂

[Bruvner]

Yet we’re still living in one of the most peaceful times in history. Stop with the warmongering and fix our problems at home

[markthomas]

In a dangerous world we need somebody competent at the helm and as the last 6 or 7 years have shown, that's not the Tories

[drewpac]

And he is partly to blame for it! Again, the average person will be the only ones to suffer. The rich have fled Ukraine rather than fight. Disgusting

Sunak talking about extremists threatening freedom of speech whilst introducing legislation that threatens freedom of speech.
