Simon Case: If you want peace, prepare for war

from The General & the Journalist

Simon Case, the former Cabinet Secretary examines how much Britain should be spending on defence “right now” to protect ourselves against spiralling global threats - including Russia and China. The former leading British civil servant warns the West now faces an axis of rival states that are cooperating ever more closely. Leading them is the technological and military powerhouse of China, which he describes as "the pace setting threat” that will dominate the next 20 years - especially as he says Beijing is now sharing its rapid advances with Russia, Iran and North Korea.Hosted by two extraordinary individuals with decades of experience in their respective fields, this podcast offers unparalleled insight into the dynamics of modern warfare through General Sir Patrick Sanders, a soldier with 40 years of military expertise. He is joined by Tom Newton Dunn, an award-winning journalist. Together they provide a unique perspective on global conflict. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
