I would have loved to hear Giles take on if he can analyze what repercussions such neglect will affect any kind of civil uprising. Probably not but surely the structure of a country that is being whittled away at the edges might eventually implode. Will desperate civilians risk an uprising? Will they take a I;ve got nothing to lose attitude? It happened in Romania in 1989. A 30-year regime of tyranny suddenly ended one day and the country’s leader and his wife were arrested, tried and a week later executed. Can this happen in Russia?

Sadly russians have had their brains scrambled and their will sapped for way over 40 yrs,, more likely someone from a powerbase, ie the army will takeover, there will have to e a power base to organise from, and someone with access to records of addresses and work files. Someone or an organisation to seize ammunition, and food supplies. In years to come a * grand * opera * or ballet will be produced about these events. Most of those with brains, humanity, will have emigrated at the start of this horrendous chaos.

Thanks, Times Radio.

A cultural and artistic heritage any country would be proud of, and a neverending succession of incompetent, bloodthirsty regimes. A tragedy not only for the Russian people, but for the world.

Excellent and well prepared video 👍, couldn't have been better if it was rehearsed.

Great interview

Mr Giles is spot on. 🙂 Слава Україна 🇺🇦 з 🇦🇺

He did not mention casualties in Ukraine due to his senseless warmongering.Russian people deserve this madman for letting him peddle his evil policies.

They couldn’t vote him out anyway…

He is so right. It is a colonial war, and that seems almost unreported in the corporate media.

Good stuff. The old story is evident here: autocracies are preparing for war and democracies not so much. The biggest problem is, that we are all watching it to happen, but are doing less than we should. The door is open again. Who to blame for it?

Great quick fire question and answers. Love it. No waffle questioning, no waffle fill in words by sharp thinking interviewee. A breath of fresh air. Thank you both.
