DURING last week's ‘Question Time’, a point was raised: ‘Could this all lead to a third world war?’ The idea was quickly snubbed.

Yet, on my reflection, the situation is very precarious and could so easily take us there.

If we in the West do finally get it together and defeat Daesh, we would all surely then turn our heads into finally bringing down Assad and his cruel regime in Syria. That without doubt would surely turn Russia against us as they fully support Assad.

Where would that take us?

Perhaps, a war with Russia at long last? Maybe we still need to hang on to Trident!
