Ukraine: The MI6 View

Former MI6 chief offers his perspective on the Ukraine crisis at the Oxford Union on 1st March 2022. He seems very objective, but note –

1. He sits on the board of BP
2. Suggests that Putin may have lost his balance.
3. Overlooks organized neo-nazi militia in Ukraine.
4. Ignores the Ukrainian civil war.
5. Avoids NATO expansionism and the recent militarization of Ukraine
6. Reveals that what the West envisages valiant resistance followed by the fall of Ukrainian and a debilitating insurgency against the Russians.
7. He offers the image of Putin as a cornered rat!

Very cool, very British, very James Bond!
