He said this in the Studio West with Anton Borkovskyi program on Espreso TV.
"In realistic terms, I don't think we're yet at World War III. You could say that overall it's more like Cold War II. I don't see that Russia is going to engage NATO. They must be realizing now that that would be a mistake. And at the moment there are only two things that are going to bring us to World War 3 and that's an attack on NATO or China attacking Taiwan," Grant explained.
According to the military expert, geographic military widening is currently impossible.
"The Middle East can remain relatively self-contained. Of course, if Iran has a nuclear bomb and decides to use that, then that would change everything. And going nuclear would change everything. But at the moment I just don't see that that is a possibility. So what we'll see is the continuing saw of the battle between Russia and Ukraine and the continuing saw of the battle between Israel and Hamas, maybe even Hezbollah. But I don't see it widening for the moment. To be honest I don't think China is ready for it," Grant emphasized.
