Tensions are rising, and some experts are sounding the alarm about Russia’s future moves. There are growing fears that Vladimir Putin might have his eyes set on resurrecting the former Soviet Union, potentially setting the stage for World War 3. And even if a peace deal is made with the US under President Trump, many believe Putin’s ambitions won’t be easily stopped.
Professor Anthony Glees, a security expert from the University of Buckingham, warns that Putin’s plans could go beyond Ukraine. He fears that the Russian leader wants to expand his territory, aiming to take back the lands that were once part of the USSR. According to Glees, Putin could target countries that joined NATO after 1997, like Finland, Sweden, Poland, and the Baltics. He believes that this could lead to a massive conflict – one that could drag the world into World War 3.
While Trump has suggested he’d push for a ceasefire in Ukraine, experts like Glees are skeptical. He thinks that Putin’s goals are far bigger, and a peace deal might only be a temporary pause before bigger conflicts arise.
In fact, Professor John Strawson from the University of East London believes 2025 could be the year that we face the biggest international challenges since WWII. With rising tensions between great powers, the world could be heading toward even more instability, especially with unpredictable leaders like Trump on the global stage. The next few years could change everything.
Stay alert – the world is watching.
