Nuclear tensions in Asia are increasing

Cape Argus

|

April 29, 2025

ASIA is on the boil, the risk of nuclear war intensifies every day as immense tension enters a new dimension and propels itself into new trajectories over a whole range of serious issues.

Any escalation could trigger off a clash that could envelop most nations on this planet in a conflict that could surpass the destruction witnessed during the Second World War... The death toll and destruction that will ensue will shock this entire planet.

On land, at sea, and in the air, an inferno will rage, that will become unstoppable, even if nations realise their folly and plead for peace.

Civilisation will cease to exist, as it is reduced to rubble, in an act of military savagery, unprecedented in the annals of modern military combat. The international laws of military combat will be ignored, the Geneva Convention will be tossed aside.

The United Nations Charter will become irrelevant, as nation upon nation battle for outright victory and supremacy, in a sea of blood. Atomic threats will surely bring the world closer to a global confrontation.
