In this special episode of the Money Maze Podcast, we are extraordinarily fortunate to have General Sir Nick Carter talk to us.
If the world was already becoming more fractured, divided, uncertain and worrisome- the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made that landscape vastly more troubled.
Sir Nick has sat at the top table of global military and security issues both real and strategized, fathoming these complexities, and begins with a detailed evaluation of the current Ukraine war.
Sir Nick offers his insights into the background and future of this situation, and then moves onto the wider geopolitical landscape, with insights on China, the Middle East, Cyber, threats to democracy, how the UK can use its strengths in this world and the evolving nature of war. A tour de force!
General Sir Nick Carter joined the Army in 1977 as an 18 year old and commissioned from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst into The Royal Green Jackets, an infantry regiment. During his early career he served in Germany during the Cold War, in Northern Ireland during the troubles and in Bosnia/Kosovo. Latterly he has had tours of duty in Iraq as a brigade commander in 2003/4 and repeated tours of Afghanistan between 2002 and 2013.. He commanded 55,000 NATO troops in Regional Command South during the Afghan ‘surge’ and in his last tour led the transition process with the now President Ghani as the Deputy Commander of the NATO mission. He assumed the appointment of Chief of the Defence Staff in June 2018, and stayed in the role until November 2021.
