Administrator Nicholas Carter of the British Defense Command said that Russia was a “critical threat” to his country. During his speech in Washington at the Center for New American Security, he spoke about his vision of the world's power centers.
According to Carter, when he began military service, the world was bipolar, replaced by an era of monopolar peace, and at that time the emphasis on defense shifted to the fight against terrorism.
“We are now entering a multipolar world,” Carter said, adding that new conditions and competition between the strongest powers had increased.
He independently noted Russia “, which in our view poses a critical threat”, as well as China, and calls it a “chronic systemic challenge.” “
Among other things, Carter drew attention to the development of new submarines in Moscow, which he said forced London to respond to emerging threats and” take a detention course “in the North Atlantic.
