Sir John Major warns democracy is under threat due to the US's "isolation" under Trump, which he believes empowers nations like Russia and China. Major sees a reversal of post-Soviet Union gains, particularly with Russia's aggression in Ukraine. He condemns rising nationalism and its destabilizing effect. Major also criticized US VP JD Vance’s remarks on Europe’s free speech, pointing out Russia's repressive actions. He stresses the need for increased defense funding to counter global threats. Meanwhile, UK officials discuss rising defense contributions amid growing international tensions.
