What WW3 might seem like in fashionable Britain – ‘rations, curfews and compelled camps’

Modern-day struggle in Britain might observe a ‘WW2-inspired blueprint’ with secret police, compelled labour camps and strict meals rations, a world affairs professional believes.

Last month, British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps warned that we’re shifting “from a post-war to a pre-war world”, after NATO navy chief Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer known as on the West to “prepare for an era of war” as a result of we “have to realise” that peace is “not a given”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has since revealed the ‘one case’ when Russia would invade extra European nations. “If Poland attacks Russia,” the Kremlin chief stated, “because we have no interest in Poland, Latvia or anywhere else”. He claimed Western leaders are attempting to scare their populations over an “imaginary Russian threat”.

A safety and intelligence professional has stated the prospect of a military battle between Russia and NATO is “now all too real”. Professor Anthony Glees, from the University of Buckingham, believes a future struggle within the West would “observe the sample of the Ukraine struggle” and would seem like a standard struggle, slightly than a nuclear one.

Prof Glees advised the Mirror: “I believe the chances of an armed conflict between Russia and NATO in which we would be deeply embedded are now all too real.” He continued: “If the next war is a nuclear war, it will be up and running in hours and over in hours. There will be no winners, only losers.”

The prof believes Putin “will have become suicidal” and would “attack a number of key sites in the UK and continental Europe, almost certainly without warning and without an ultimatum”. He stated: “There will be no time for anyone to do very much except prepare for deep impact extinction as best they can.

“However, whether it is, as I imagine, not going to be a nuclear struggle, then not solely do issues look very totally different – however it’s completely credible to argue it has already began.” Prof Glees predicts World War 3 would progress in three stages, from Russian threats and subversion to a pro-Putin government in Westminster – if the Kremlin wins.

Stage 1: Threats and subversion

“If Putin wins (or has one thing he can say is a ‘win’) in Ukraine, and particularly if Trump turns into the subsequent American President, Putin will start to place stress on all of the post-1997 NATO members,” Prof Glees explained. He believes the Kremlin leader would first “try to melt us up” and try to divide the UK.

He said Putin is already trying to “subvert our democratic system and provides political leverage to those that would help him”. “His talent set is of the Soviet intelligence neighborhood, and their goal has all the time been to make threats, to subvert and to hole out their potential enemies,” Prof Glees continued. If his attempts to divide and conquer do not work, the prof believes Putin would move to stage two.

Stage 2: Putin assaults NATO

He outlined the second stage as a “war of attrition”, fought with standard weapons and UK troops as a part of NATO’s Armed Forces. “Slowly, Russian forces would advance to the Pyrenees,” Prof Glees stated. He paints an image of modern-day struggle in Britain, with contemporary meals sources rapidly working out and petrol unavailable to the on a regular basis Brit.

“We would run out of fresh food in days,” Prof Glees defined. “A massive Russian cyber attack on our critical national infrastructure would mean we can’t get cash out of our bank accounts, we cannot pay bills, we might not get electricity, gas, and – if Putin wanted – he could try to turn out the lights.”

The prof believes rationing of meals and items would “follow a WW2-inspired blueprint”. “Petrol and diesel would be virtually unobtainable for ordinary people. Medicines would quickly be subject to severe rationing and would soon disappear altogether,” he continued.

“Although we would hope the EU would continue to supply us with food, we would have to rely on the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, especially if much of Western Europe were to fall under Russian control. We would quickly see a black market for home-produced food and clothing.”

Prof Glees believes “all be subject to a curfew to stop looting and nights would be dark to save electricity”, and he predicts there could be conscription. “All adults between the ages of 18 and 40, male and single females would be eligible to be drafted”, he stated.

However, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s official spokesman has addressed rumours of conscription and stated that month that No 10 didn’t agree, including: “The British military has a proud position of being a voluntary force. As I say, there’s no plan for conscription.”

Stage 3: A professional-Putin authorities

Prof Glees predicts that inside a month of a standard struggle, “a British Quisling government would be established, probably under a well-known domestic politician known to be sympathetic to Putin”. He stated: “Within a year, the UK would become a Russian colony and run like Russia, with a secret police and forced labour camps for anyone showing the least opposition to the Russian regime”.

“Russian language would be taught in our schools, Russian or pro-Russian Quislings would run our public institutions. The Royal Family would go to Canada and resistance leaders would try to establish a following from secret bases in Wales and Scotland,” the prof added.
