Dr Trevor McCrisken has been quoted in a number of articles recently discussing United States President, Donald Trump.

In an article on Friday February 3rd, titled "Donald Trump not in Situation Room for 'botched' Yemen raid that killed up to 30 civilians and one US Navy SEAL," Dr McCrisken is quoted saying:

“Some presidents are very hands-on and very keen to be present in the Situation Room as major operations are being carried out. Obama and Bush were fairly regular there.” He added: “My sense is that some presidents have been less enamoured with the idea of always being there.”

And in an article on Sunday February 5th, "US would go into any war with China with 'unparalleled violence', warn experts," Dr McCrisken's quotes are used heavily.

Trevor McCrisken, associate professor of politics and international studies at the University of Warwick, said that if war broke out "we would be looking, I would imagine, at World War Three".

He said: "I really do think that would be the end of life as we know it on Earth.

"From a global strategic risk level I would say the last thing you want is war between the United States and any of the major powers because of the risks of escalation, obviously the potential for nuclear weapons to be used. The likelihood of nuclear exchange between the two principals involved is high."

But, he added, the "overwhelming view of most policy-makers in Washington since at least the late 1970s" favours a form of "cooperative, if competitive" relationship with China.
