428. Robin Horsfall - Putin Won't Stop Attacking Ukraine and Testing Europe Until he's Stopped by Force.


Listen Later

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

----------
The war in Ukraine continues despite a lack of media interest. Russian
forces have made repeated assaults along the Donbas front and attempted
an offensive towards Kharkiv. Perhaps Putin wanted some kind of victory,
no matter how insignificant, before the Victory Parade in Moscow on May
9th. But it has cost Russia dearly, with the loss of more than 15,000
soldiers killed or wounded and he has nothing to show except a few pock-
marked fields and piles of rubble that used to be villages. What is the
point of Putin’s war, and when will the Western allies finally show him
it is fruitless to continue?
----------
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.
