285. Robin Horsfall - Are we Underestimating how Destructive and Long-lived Moscow's Aggression could be?

GUEST: Robin Horsfall, soldier, writer, campaigner and keynote speaker.
----------

The existence of the USSR over many decades unfortunately shows that
tyranny can be tenacious, and the extreme barbarism it deploys to
suppress freedoms can last a long time and exact a huge toll of human
suffering. That is why our weak strategy towards a decisive Ukrainian
victory and complacency in the face of a revanchist, totalitarian (even
fascistic) Russian World ideology is so very dangerous. We underestimate
how pernicious, destructive, and long-lived this new wave of illiberal
aggression from the Moscow swamplands could be.

SPEAKER:
Robin Horsfall joined the British Army at the age of fifteen in 1972. He
served with the Parachute Regiment and 22 Special Air Service. He left
the British Army in 1984 and worked as a mercenary, bodyguard and as a
medical officer is many active zones around the world. He then built
London Karate for twenty years, teaching thousands the art and
discipline of karate. He retired and went to Surrey University aged 56
and graduated in English Literature and Creative Writing three years
later. He is the author of several books including his hugely successful
autobiography Fighting Scared - which I highly recommend you read.
