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.
