This is the question Keir Giles poses in his worrying new book. He argues that Britain and Europe are woefully unprepared for any war with Russia and need to completely overhaul their approach to defence. It is only by doing this can they hope to deter Vladimir Putin from further aggression.
On the show today, Keir and Aaron discuss:
Putin’s intentions vs his capabilities
The danger of Russian subversion activities
If European rhetoric about defence will be matched by actions
They also touch on whether or not European leaders can bring Donald Trump back into the transatlantic fold – or even continue to support Ukraine in the face of intense pressure from his administration.
