The world could be on the brink of WW3, defence experts fear, with Russia, Iran, China and North Korea all being a potential threat to the West
DAILY MAIL | Published December 29, 2024
Fears World War Three could explode have ramped up amid claims Putin is preparing a ‘landgrab’ in a bid to ‘re-establish the Soviet Union’.
Experts have warned the Russian tyrant will not rein in his murderous ambitions to expand his territory – even if he is offered a peace deal to end the war with Ukraine by incoming US president, Donald Trump.
And defence analysts have also warned Putin could try to assassinate Volodymyr Zelensky as part of his sinister long-term ambitions to defeat his eastern bloc neighbour, which he invaded almost three years ago.
Professor Anthony Glees, a security and intelligence expert from the University of Buckingham, claims Putin has no intention of giving up his quest to seize more land.
The Emeritus scholar instead warned the Russian despot was eager to restore of the old borders of the USSR, which collapsed in 1991 after it lost the Cold War.
And chillingly, Prof Glees feared should Putin carry out such an act, it would drag the globe into the next apocalypse, with Trump’s ‘foolish and false peace deal’ starting the ‘countdown to war’.
‘[Putin] will turn to his strategic plan of re-establishing the USSR and its satellite system in all but name by turning on all the post-1997 Nato states,’ Prof Glees told the Mirror.
‘He’s said it is his intention to force them to leave Nato and I believe we should take the threat very seriously, as we should have taken all his threats seriously but signally failed to do.
‘We’re talking about Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia; Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and West Macedonia. In other words, a really big grab by Putin, so big that I am confident we will oppose him by force and that will be how WW3 will develop.’
Putin has already recruited thousands of soldiers from North Korea to fight on the frontlines and has threated to use nuclear weapons against the West – while allies Iran have supplied the Kremlin with drones to bomb Ukrainian cities
Meanwhile, Trump – the first convicted criminal to be elected as US president – has warned he would be slashing the military aid to Kyiv and could pull the US out of Nato, in a move that has alarmed America’s allies in the West.
He has called for an immediate ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, writing on his Truth Social website: ‘Zelensky and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness.’
But Prof Glees a truce would not stop Putin from continuing with his onslaught on mainland Europe.

Tensions are escalating as warnings emerge that Vladimir Putin may be plotting a ‘land grab’ to resurrect the former Soviet Union, stoking fears of World War 3. Western leaders, including those in the US and Europe, have been cautioned that the Russian leader’s ambitions won’t be curbed even if a peace deal is struck with incoming US president Donald Trump.
Professor Anthony Glees from the University of Buckingham, an authority on security and intelligence, has voiced concerns that Putin will not only target President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for assassination but will also embark on significant territorial expansion. The Emeritus professor is convinced that Putin’s ultimate goal is to reinstate the USSR’s old boundaries, which were lost following the Cold War’s end.
He warns that such aggressive moves could trigger the onset of World War Three. In a dire statement to the Mirror, Professor Glees said: “[Putin] will turn to his strategic plan of re-establishing the USSR and its satellite system in all but name by turning on all the post-1997 NATO states. He’s said it is his intention to force them to leave NATO and I believe we should take the threat very seriously, as we should have taken all his threats seriously but signally failed to do.”
“We’re talking about Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia; Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and West Macedonia. In other words, a really big grab by Putin, so big that I am confident we will oppose him by force and that will be how WW3 will develop.”
“This will shape our deteriorating relations with Russia. Trump’s foolish and false peace deal will start the clock for the countdown to war.”
After Trump’s victory in the US presidential race, he called for an immediate halt to hostilities between Russia and Ukraine. His subsequent claim on his Truth Social website was: “Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness.”
