Former MI6 chief predicts how the war in Ukraine will end

"Western policy is for this to end in a way that it actually has finished rather than just provided Putin with some kind of frozen conflict."
Putin will not stop until "he is fought to a standstill", former MI6 chief Alex Younger tells #TimesRadio.

    5:14: The old interviewer (don't know who the Times Radio male interviewer's name) did, indeed, say Yugoslavia, which is a mistake. That's a bit odd, but it's a mistake we've all made when having conversations (no matter our age). A correction (small type at the bottom, for example) would have been nice.

    I’m a computer scientist but not a security expert, but I completely agree. This was so much better than most discussions on the topic. Also, just in general this reminds me of the times I had long term work assignments in the UK (I’m from the US) and what a pleasure it was to watch the political discourse there, where people talked intelligently and journalists actually asked good follow up questions that were challenging yet respectful.

Would the USA allow China to operate within Mexico? Missiles on the Mexican border with America. I don't think so.

Everything made sense, the seemingly alarming (now perfectly explained) disclosure of much that is known about the Russian forces and their dodgy outdated and malfunctioning equipment. The reality of, previously assumed, impregnable cyber security based on sheer ignorance of such matters and the desperate need for eyes to be opened and caution to be instilled on all who deal in sensitive information and/or attend high level meetings where tech, including personal items, should never be trusted. There is so much reassurance in this for me, thank you, thank you!
