I am
scheduled to join Julian Charles later this month for another interview on his
podcast ‘The Mind Renewed’. We will be discussing issues related to my recent
article “Russia and Britain: An Enduring but Fruitless Rivalry”.
We shall be
joined once again by the lawyer and university lecturer Adeyinka Makinde for a
conversation centred on his excellent article, “Russia and Britain: An Enduring but Fruitless Rivalry”, which was recently published at Global Research and especially
recommended by the Director of Global Research, Prof. Michel Chossudovsky.
“The ongoing
crisis between Britain and the Russian Federation over the poisoning of a
former GRU colonel on British soil is the latest episode in what for a number
of years has effectively been a ‘Cold War’ between Russia on the one hand, and
the Western alliance nations comprised of NATO and the European Union on the
other. It is important, nonetheless, to note that friction and dissonance
between Russia and Britain has been an enduring one spanning the centuries. It
is a rivalry that has been predicated on cultural differences, ideological
antagonism and imperial ambition.” - Makinde.
