سایت تلویزیون ایران فردا ـ روزنامه دیلی اکسپرس می‌نویسد ژنرال نیک کارتر فرمانده ارتش بریتانیا هشدار داده است که نیروهای نظامی این کشور می‌بایستی همواره آماده آغاز یک جنگ همه‌جانبه با کشورهای روسیه، ایران و چین باشند.
ژنرال کارتر گفته است نیروهای تحت فرماندهی او می‌بایستی از حالت آماده‌باش در زمان صلح به آمادگی فکری و تجهیزاتی برای احتمال آغاز یک درگیری با ایران و روسیه و چین دربیایند.
به گفته دیلی اکسپرس، این سه کشور همراه با گروه‌های تروریستی مانند داعش اکنون بزرگترین خطر برای صلح جهانی هستند.
ژنرال کارتر گفته است: «امنیت بریتانیا و صلح و ثبات بین‌المللی در حال حاضر از سوی سه کشور ایران، چین و روسیه که در پی گسترش منافع و دامنه نفوذ خود در جهان هستند تهدید می‌شود.
نظم جهانی پس از پایان جنگ دوم در سال ۱۹۴۵ امروز مورد تهدید قرار گرفته است و مهاجرت‌های وسیع از مناطق جنگ‌زده نیز یک تهدید خارجی را برای کشورهای اروپایی به‌وجود آورده است.»
ژنرال کارتر که در انستیتوی سلطنتی امور دفاعی و خدمات نظامی بریتانیا سخنرانی می‌کرده است افزوده است: «چین و روسیه در سال‌های اخیر قدرت نظامی ما را مورد بررسی قرار داده و در پیشرفت ابزار و تسلیحات نظامی خود سرمایه‌گزاری‌های هنگفت کرده‌اند که می‌توانند بر نقطه‌ضعف‌های نظامی ما غلبه کنند. ما اکنون از حالت صلح باید به حالت آمادگی برای احتمال یک جنگ تغییر رویه بدهیم.» لینک به اصل مطلب

THE UK must prepare for all out war and shift away from our peacetime mentality amid rising fears from superstates Russia, China and Iran, the head of the military has said.
Military chief warns threats to UK are ‘rapidly intensifying’
Mr Carter said, in his first lecture as Chief of the Defence Staff at the Royal United Services Institute, that Russia and China had “studied our strengths and invested carefully in new methods and capabilities that are designed to exploit weaknesses”.
These included ballistic and cruise missiles, low-yield nuclear weapons, cyberweapons, space and counter space weapons, and electronic warfare.
The UK must now shift away from our peacetime mentality and embrace the innovation to stop these threats to our national security.
He said the UK needs to take risks and experiment with new technologies.
The military chief said: “We are in a period of change more widespread, rapid and profound than humanity has experienced outside of world war.”

Mr Carter added: “It inevitably brings instability which requires a different approach to the traditional peacetime mentality.
“We need to recreate the innovation and ingenuity seen in wartime to succeed in this environment.”
He empathised: “What constitutes a weapon in this ‘grey zone’, below the threshold of conventional war, no longer has to go ‘bang’.”
Looking to the future, he said the UK military would be “digitally enabled and integrated”, and change how it fights and develops capabilities.
The Chief of the Defence Staff also said Iraq and Afghan war veterans were “pitied” by the public rather than respected.

He said the younger generation of veterans are misunderstood because of dramas, documentaries, films and even charity campaigns that portray them as “scarred for life”.
He said the imaging was making it harder for the military to recruit.
In a bid for support he said: “While our servicemen and women appreciate public support, they want to be valued and respected – not pitied – in other words, it’s about empathy, not sympathy.
“The respect and honour shown to our Chelsea Pensioners proves that as a nation we value our older veterans.
“But we also have a generation of younger veterans from more recent campaigns who are subject to misconceptions.”
Despite declining to name a specific programme, BBC1’s hit series Bodyguard, which was watched by 10.4 million viewers for its final episode, had at its centre a “troubled war veteran” tasked with protecting the Home Secretary.
Sir Nick said modern-day veterans were often thought of as “scarred for life”, “homeless”, “have turned to alcohol or drugs because of traumatic stress disorder”, or “are more likely to go to prison”.
