World War Three countdown as experts predict escalating global tensions in 2025

A global affairs expert has issued a stark warning the countdown to World War Three could begin as early as 2025. This comes amid escalating tensions worldwide, including the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and accusations of espionage by China in the UK and other Western countries.As we approach the New Year, two international relations experts agree the situation is likely to worsen in 2025, particularly with the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House.

Professor Anthony Glees from the University of Buckingham predicts Putin will continue his long-term plan to reclaim all countries once part of the USSR, reports the Mirror.Meanwhile, Professor John Strawson from the University of East London warns 2025 will present "the greatest challenges to international order since World War 2 ended 80 years ago".

He elaborated: "The dangers stem from the rise of great power rivalry and the decline of international cooperation."In 1945 the Allies created the United Nations even before the war ended with the aim of promoting a new world order, in the 2020's that order has effectively collapsed as we can see in the wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and the tensions over Taiwan."Prof Glees has expressed his view on the current political climate, stating: "Trump's victory in the US elections is a symptom international instability is having an impact on domestic politics.

Donald Trump's well-known unpredictability symbolises this and underlines how the domestic situation of the main powers has an impact on international relations.
