UK armed forces chief urges US to ‘stay strong’ and resist isolationism

‘Sticking together’ is vital as world becomes more dangerous, says Adm Sir Tony Radakin on Washington visit

Britain’s most senior military commander has called on the US to “stay strong, stick together, and see through” conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East as he appealed against future American isolationism on a trip to Washington DC.

Adm Sir Tony Radakin said at a conference he believed “the world is undeniably becoming more dangerous” and invoked memories of D-day to justify potential future US engagement in struggles against authoritarian regimes.
