class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">There are fears that Russia is heading into WW3 with Europe (Contributor \/ Contributor \/ Getty)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The lecturer at the University of Buckingham outlined two scenarios that could pull Europe into a global conflict, saying: &#8220;First, that Iran hits back hard, is supported by its admittedly weakened proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis and what&#8217;s left of Hamas, as well as its chums in the region and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Elsewhere, it&#8217;s thought the likes of Putin, North Korea&#8217;s Kim Jong-Un, and China&#8217;s Xi Jinping might see a &#8216;distracted&#8217; United States and seize the opportunity to act: &#8220;We recall that Putin is firing Shahed drones at Ukraine. Now is the time to pursue their own bugbears in Ukraine, South Korea and Taiwan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Glees concluded: &#8220;Naturally we hope this won&#8217;t happen. But if it does, I think what Israel has been doing since about 3am give us a blueprint for what could happen to us here in Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Still, there&#8217;s &#8216;no doubt&#8217; that Europe&#8217;s main enemy would be Russia under Putin, with him guessing the first form of attack would be an &#8216;overwhelming&#8217; cyber attack: &#8220;It will not only knock out our digital communications networks. We hope the government networks which are far more secure will be resilient enough to withstand such an attack, but who knows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;We know that the Israelis sent alarms to every single mobile phone user in Israel, warning them about the attack at 3am, including those who had switched off their phones, or put them on silent mode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">We&#8217;ve already seen the world respond, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer holding talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Donald Trump confirming US embassy staff have been moved out of Iraq. In the POTUS&#8217; own words: &#8220;They are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place, and we\u2019ll see what happens. They can\u2019t have a nuclear weapon. Very simple\u2014we\u2019re not going to allow that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The alarm bells are (literally) sounding, as there are fears that we&#8217;ve been thrown into the midst of World War Three.
