I was in Afghanistan, and let's face it, NATO lost.
So the idea that NATO could prevail over Russia, having lost against the Taliban, it's just extraordinary thinking, but it's in NATO.
I think as well that the advice within the establishment, I used to call them the elites, but I've now realised that they're not elite, because elite's about high-performance people.
Whereas we're not seeing that within the establishment.
So I think the establishments have what I can best describe as a sort of institutional lag and sort of blinkered thinking.
And we see that in many ways.
And when you look across the broad nature of the strategic context in which we're operating, and if you can be bothered to listen to what the Russians have been saying,
then, you know, the logic that they present is, I find it sort of unequivocal.
I may have listened, of course, to your interview with Vladimir Putin and, of course, Lavrov,
And there was almost nothing that I can think of that I disagree with.
The problem, though, the West is not interested in listening, it seems to me.
And so I think this is more about incompetence, and it must be incompetence on the Europeans.
You know, there might be within the neocons and certain elements of...
the sort of neocon-like establishments in the West, in the E3 in Britain, Germany, and France, that is determined to break up Russia.
But it's obviously impossible, it seems to me.
You know, the one you hear Kaya Callas saying that.
It's a very good question because you could ask exactly the same question about von der Leyen.
Yes.
Von der Leyen, when I was serving, was notorious for being the worst minister of defence that Germany had ever had.
And suddenly we find that she is in charge or has a leadership role in the EU.
