General Bradshaw explores the current threats faced by the UK and Nato, the broader struggle for ideas that provides the context, and the effect of Donald Trump.

About the event

While the security and defence challenges facing the UK and Nato remain complex and challenging, the advent of Donald Trump’s second term of office as President of the USA has overturned many of the assumptions we have been living with for half a century and more.

General Bradshaw will explore the nature of military and warlike threats faced by the UK and Nato within the context of a broader struggle for ideas between the so-called West and the world of dictators and autocrats, and the effect of Trump on both.
