Defence Secretary Wes Streeting wrote in the Telegraph that Britain's adversaries could be able to attack by 2030, leaving about 1,000 days to prepare with allies. His warning followed a government campaign urging households to stock water, food and emergency supplies, and MI5's warning of Russian hybrid attacks on infrastructure. The story shows a major European state openly preparing its population for possible war, a build-up of military readiness and public pressure for security that fits the wider movement toward collective European defence, though it does not itself indicate a fulfilment of prophecy.
