From our book - on Russia, Putin and Trump

By 2023 such claims ring hollow as the world watches powerless to prevent Russia from perpetrating genocide in Ukraine. President Donald Trump represented the ultimate threat from within regarding NATO and western security. p. 246

Putin read both Trump and Biden, out played them, and then ignored Biden prior to unleashing war on Ukraine. p. 247

Always half in-half out, Biden didn’t want Putin’s war but has played the hawk to out-trump Trump. Meanwhile a small nation is struggling with a trickle of weapons, which suits Biden’s America but is a long-term disaster for Europeans. Slowly, very slowly, the truth will out over the reasons for western sluggishness toward the war. On 15 February 2023, Ben Wallace the UK’s Defence Minister, tried to defend the appalling condition of Britain’s armed forces. This has come after a year of thuggish jingoism from the wholly populist Johnson government that abandoned a barely coherent defence policy for a failed doctrine of counterinsurgency (COIN dogma). p. 440
