New Korean war "now real possibility"

Chalmers also "urged civil servants to begin preparations immediately for the possible outbreak of war between the US and North Korea," the Independent is reporting.

“If war did begin, the (US) president would be on the phone to 10 Downing Street within an hour asking for support. The British prime minister would then have only a few hours, at most, to make clear how she stood on what would be one of the most momentous strategic shocks of the post-Cold War era," he said.

As a close ally of the US, the UK would most likely be asked to provide assistance in the event of a conflict on the Korean peninsula, where the US has around 35,000 troops stationed, the newspaper reported.

Chalmers "suggested the best support the UK could offer in this scenario was diplomatic, with negotiations aimed at limiting the spread of conflict and ensure both the US and China were happy with any peace agreement," the article said.
