Grant Shapps, the UK’s new Defence Secretary, in his first major speech, has issued a stark warning about the nation’s defence posture, drawing parallels with the 1930s and cautioning against a repeat of history.
In his address at Lancaster House, Shapps reflected on the post-Cold War era marked by optimism and the notion of a peace dividend, suggesting that this period of apparent tranquillity might be coming to an end.
He highlighted the re-emergence of autocratic states and the ongoing conflicts that suggest a shift from a post-war to a pre-war world.

The best won war is the one not fought. It seems the West has forgotten their Sun Tzu.
