40. Special Episode on Crisis in Ukraine

This special episode on the crisis in Ukraine was recorded on 26 and 27 February. I discuss the background to the conflict in the failure to negotiate a fair peace to end the cold war, and the response to Russian proposals for a new security architecture in Europe. Events are unfolding quickly and a major information war is under way. Take care all and remember what thou lovest well will not be reft from thee.
