THE world is at greater risk of a nuclear catastrophe that threatens the entire planet now than at any point during the Cold War because of Vladimir Putin and North Korea, an expert has warned.

William Perry said localised conflicts, terrorism coupled with an accident or a miscalculation between belligerent rivals could result in an armageddon-style atomic wipeout more devastating that Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

And the former US defence secretary insisted that most people were “blissfully unaware” of the threat posed by rogue states and unpredictable world leaders.

Giving a lecture at Stanford University in the US, Dr Perry said: “Today the danger of some sort of nuclear catastrophe is greater than it was during the Cold War and most people are blissfully unaware of this danger.”

He said there was a risk that North Korea’s warmongering rhetoric and attempts at building a nuclear-ready ballistic missile could easily switch from “bluster” to a “real threat”.

Branding Pyongyang a “festering sore”, he said: “If it erupts it would very likely entail some use of nuclear weapons.”

Dr Perry, who served at the Pentagon during President Clinton’s administration from 1994 to 1997, also highlighted the threat from Russia and its President Mr Putin.
