FRIGHTENING OR FEAR MONGERING: DAVID CAMERON WORLD WAR 3 WARNING

FRIGHTENING OR FEAR MONGERING: DAVID CAMERON WORLD WAR 3 WARNING

BY Eric King

David Cameron warns of world war 3 in a statement that would spark a debate as to the credibility of the warning

Prime Minister, David Cameron’s warning of world war 3 is frightening if true, but it is also seen as fear mongering. The question is, is it true? The EU was formed as a unifying package to put a past of conflict and war behind the EU continents as a whole, and work together as a unit socially and economically.

There was no terrorism of this scale at the time, and uncontrollable immigration wasn’t considered an issue then. The world has changed since then, and many Brits want their government to have full control of everything  without obstructions from EU jurisdictions. In the face of warnings of an economic crises if Britain leaves, opinion polls suggest that Britain is heading out of the EU.

There is still time for those polls to shift, and warnings from the government about serious potential consequences are the sort that can shift those opinions, if people buy into it.David Cameron’s warning today could actually be true, but what can’t be true is the certainty of his declaration.  Will leaving the EU really cause a world war? A world war can start for a number of reasons, and many of such reasons could already be in motion right now.

However, exit from the EU should not cause a war in itself. Former Mayor of London, leading the campaign for Brexit said:

“I don’t think the Prime Minister can seriously believe that leaving the EU would trigger war on the European continent, given that he was prepared only a few months ago to urge that people should vote to leave if they failed to get a substantially reformed EU,” said the former mayor.

“I don’t believe that leaving the EU would cause World War III to break out on the European continent.”

Johnson slammed Cameron’s warning of a potential world war 3 resulting from leaving the EU, stating that it underestimates both the importance of Nato in underpinning peace and the sense that it is “the EU itself and its anti-democratic tendencies that are now a force for instability and alienation”, said Mr Johnson.

Johnson argues that the EU’s attempt to impose economic integration has produced “humiliation” and the destruction of democracy in Greece, as well as boosting far-right movements in countries from Austria to France.

Cameron added that the Paris and Brussels attacks were a reminder that “we face this threat together and will only succeed in overcoming it by working much more closely together”. It should be noted that there is no reason Britain and other EU countries can’t work together in fighting terrorism even if Britain is out of the EU.

The threats of terrorism can still face us together, but exactly why our joint ability to fight terrorism will be significantly weakened if we leave Europe is something to be addressed on its own.

Co-operation on security measures would be “more legally complex” and information-sharing about threats “much slower and more difficult” in the absence of EU mechanisms, David  Cameron said Buy why, and should this not be addressed?

.

Mr. Cameron could not logically and coherently defend a question on why he called the referendum, if the consequences of the UK leaving could be as dangerous for the world as he claimed, Mr Cameron said: “I think it’s right to have the referendum.

“This is a great act of sovereignty for the British people, that’s a great act of democracy. I have always believed we are better off in a reformed EU.” A reformed EU was not achieved, so Cameron is running out of impressive and strong arguments on the EU debate. Johnson is putting a better argument. David Cameron’s warnings of world war 111 may be frightening, but is more fear mongering.

 

Meanwhile………..
Controversial UKIP leader, Nigel Farrage has also dismissed Cameron’s alarm bells saying that patriotism requires that we are good enough to run our own country and make our own laws. He said that when Europe is democratic and cooperating together, things will be peaceful. 
 
Farrage says that violence on the streets of Athens is a expression of the anger and resentment against Europe. Farrage has always been perceived as a racist who views against immigration have always been extreme, but there is a growing body of Brexit supporters who see him as a representing their views. This is worrying for ‘stay in’ supporters and campaigners, but one embraced by Brexit circles.
 
 Whether Farrage’s point cuts it or not, Boris Johnson is putting a better argument than David Cameron on the issue. David Cameron’s warnings of world war III may be frightening, but is seen as more fear mongering. Further discussions and debate on the topic will be more revealing as time goes on.
