Threats of War: Britain's New Global Role - Conference
Start: 2021-04-17 14:00:00 UTC Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna (GMT+01:00)
This is a virtual event
Our government is desperate for Britain to play a global
military role. Despite the pandemic, economic crisis and crumbling
services, they boosted defence spending in 2020 by the biggest margin in
years. They are refusing to withdraw support for the Saudi-led
war on Yemen war and are keen to be partner No. 1 in the US push for a
new cold war on China.
To illustrate their ambitions the
government is dispatching an aircraft carrier strike group with US
fighter planes on board to the Pacific in May ‘to make global Britain a
reality’.
