In this episode, Rick Wheatley sits down with Lt Gen Sir Graeme Lamb, former Commander of the UK’s Field Army and the SAS, to open Season Two of WTF Now? — and to ask a pressing question: What the hell happened to the West?

From the Cold War to Iraq and Afghanistan, Graeme has spent decades leading through volatility — and now advises global business and political leaders on how to navigate today’s contested, uncertain world.

Together, Rick and Graeme explore:

⚡️ How the West lost its balance and sense of responsibility

⚡️ Why Europe must wake up to the realities of modern conflict

⚡️ What “war” looks like today — from cyber to information

⚡️ And how leaders can build character, culture, and clarity in chaos

A candid, unfiltered conversation about leadership, history, and what it will take to lead through persistent uncertainty.
