The Crisis Room

Is Nato's worst nightmare about to become a reality?


Listen Later

Former Defence Secretary Sir Ben Wallace joins The Crisis Room to dissect the events of the past week, and to look ahead to what the next few months might hold. He speaks candidly about the reality of what the US leaving NATO would mean for the alliance and the security of the West, and whether Keir Starmer is right to pledge to send troops to Ukraine if Putin ever agrees to a ceasefire. Ben also reveals what it's like to have lunch with Donald Trump, and why it was a mistake to tell him about his great-grandfather's golfing prowess.

Marc P also describes how the CIA would have planned the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and Mark & Amber explain the panicked conversations which will be taking place across Europe as fears grow of a US invasion of Greenland.
