Understandably, in peaceful times, NATO and defense issues were taking a back seat among western nations that wanted to put resources into bettering their lives instead of producing weapons, which explains the diminishing importance of a defense alliance. Putin has been working to drive a wedge in that alliance for 2 decades, recently with the help of his "asset", Trump. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for us), he jumped the gun and jumped prematurely into his plans to increase the "lebensraum" for Russia. The whole thing has now blown up in his face Inevitably - and unfortunately - the western nations are waking up to the reality that there are aspiring Hitlers everywhere, in Turkey, Hungary and Poland, but especially the runaway one in Russia - and China needs it's own dictatorial chapter! Putin is a goner, done for, kaput, but he and his regime will take a while to collapse. Russia will remain a pariah among nations for at least a generation or so, and any hope for a benign leadership that can work on introducing proper democracy and reducing the endemic Russian corruption is slim, indeed. Getting permanently rid of dictatorial and cruel leaders for the Russian people is long overdue.

I wonder if Tony remembers “The Battle For Falluja”? You’ve only got to see the pictures of the city during the war, to realise how we were bombing civilians. Children to this day nearly 20yrs later are still being born at a disproportionate rate, with birth defects. Due to the uranium shells we were using. Not chemical weapons tho! Every time a western leader mentions wars crimes by the Russian’s against Ukraine, the word Hypocrite, flows through my head. I support Ukraine in the defence of their nation and sovereignty 100%. The west needs change their narrative about war crimes, and concentrate on the Ukraine defence from another angle. I would imagine not many countries can stomach a lecture about war crimes, especially when US or UK, try bringing up the conversation. We even managed to blow up a car, full of children, during the Afghanistan evacuation, because we believed it to be a suicide bomber. That was an accident tho wasn’t it!

Then in 2006, sectarian violence kicked into high gear, and they mass murdered each other and blamed their liberators. You want us to pay Iraqis reparations for not knowing what was best for them better than they did. As for Afghanistan, their population *doubled* during America's 20 years in the country.

. With war and dealing with agressive nations, Tony Blair was at the forefront of the modern era. Other interviews he described various US lead retalitory reactions of which he said he was as guilty as anyone and would agree to let history be his judge. The UK is without a leader at the moment because honesty, above all, is a leader's top mandate. Britain needs to realize Tony Blair was instrumental in ending the violence from the IRA. I say he would be an excellent interm leader till an election. Not only for his experience and judgement on what works on the world stage but he is respected and liked by Russia and especially Vladimir Putin. Consider this as an alternative as Lame Duck P.M. during a serious crisis of war is fundamentally flawed. Putin said the UK would be the first nation nuked should NATO create a no-fly zone or get directly involved. I not only respect Britian's Parliment more than the US's Congress but a Tony Blair would be someone I could trust not to F-up like a divided US mid-term would do and be guaranteed disasterous.

Putin is quite calculating and smart usually, so I'm surprised he made such a stupid move of invading Ukraine and didn't foresee Finland and Sweden joining NATO. He seems to be totally cut off from reality now. Because the Russian military is in an appalling state and is in no way capable of invading and occupying a country the size of Ukraine. And he's in absolutely no position to take on the 21st century military capability of NATO in a proxy war he now finds himself in. He can't even move 1970's tanks across the Ukraine border without them breaking down all over the place and some have parts inside from salvaged from Russian household electrical appliances. It's a major humilation for Russia, showing the world clearly that Russia no longer a great military power and has lost the fierce and respected army it once had. So Russia has resorted to sheer brutality, massive shelling, missile strikes and artillery fire on civillian towns and cities in an effort to either force Ukraine into surrendering, or just to punish Ukraine and degrade the country and prevent its membership to EU and NATO. If I were Putin, I'd be looking for a fast way out of this situation rather than prolonging the pain or dangerously escalating the situation with tactical nuclear use, which I think maybe his only option soon. Some are questioning whether Putin is rational still, and there's also rumours he is terminally ill with leukemia, which may be influencing his decision making into taking huge gambles. Historically, Putin has been motivated by money and enriching himself, but now has more money than he can spend in a lifetime and is nearing the end of his 'career' in his 70's and health failing, he may be drunk with power and looking to leave his mark and some kind of political legacy. He's always been consistent about his desire to re-create the Soviet-era borders of Russian Federation, and to push back at NATO, and has been slowly doing that for 23 years. Often despot dictators that are weakened (and let's face it Russia's economy is in an appalling state, now shrunk to the size of Italy, and a mere fraction of the size of UK's) resort to wars as a way a) detracting from their own failures by rallying patriotic support and presenting Russia as the victim/under attack b) propping up a failing economy through conquest expansion.

But a significant naval presence did continue there. As early as 1962 the Soviets had established a massive, 28-square-mile signals intelligence (SIGINT) facility at Lourdes, near Havana. Manned by more than 2,000 military, naval, and civilian technicians, Lourdes became the largest and most important SIGINT station outside the Soviet Union; when the U.S. government publicly revealed its presence in March 1985, it was called the most sophisticated Soviet “spy base” outside the Eastern Bloc. The facility was credited with being able to monitor telephone conversations in the southeastern United States; space activities at Cape Canaveral, Florida; and transmissions by U.S. commercial and military satellites. In addition to the Lourdes station, after removal of the strategic (ballistic) missiles and bombers, the Soviets kept a combat brigade of 2,800 troops in Cuba as well as several thousand military and civilian advisers and technicians. Fighter aircraft, antiaircraft guns and missiles, and the 12 Komar missile craft also remained."

It may be “true if”, within a limited context, or part, but that doesn’t mean a complex whole is right. The same is obviously true of NATO. That’s an even more insidious mess, that’s potentially more deceptive to those who want to believe it.

Curious to me is how the whole content ignores the fact of the Minsk protocols and following peace negotiations ever happened. These could/should have provided the basis for a negotiated peace but his successor (and others) had ideas other than a peaceful solution. Putin sat at the peace negotiation table. A question to me is whether the other parties had selfish objectives, money perhaps ? And why was not this aspect included in this interview ?

Amazing, how Mr. Blair uses his imagination to describe Russia's president Putin, who actually changed the infrastructure for Russia for the better, waited patiently for the unfolding of the Referendum in a few provinces of Ukraine, where mainly Russian speaking people voted for re-union with Russia, in 2014. When the outcome of this Referendum was clear, Zelensky, who was placed in the presidential seat by the US (remember that regime change?) declared the people in these provinces as being terrorists, so that harrassing began, in these provinces, lasting until early 2022. President Putin, after waiting 8 years, decided to send Russian troups to these provinces, just to give a signal of concern for those conditions. The response of Ukraine, by Zelenski, was a willingness to negotiate, and start talking about a solution. Immediately, the US forced another solution on Zelensky's shoulders, by promising weapons and money. Meanwhile, stabbing him in the back. How so? While a war was never officially declared, Ukraine soldiers obeyed orders to fight the Russians, and many lives were lost on the Ukrainean side. To this day, lives are lost for insane reasons, and no single victory is written in Ukraine's history. When 1 Russian soldier dies, 5 Ukrainean soldiers die on the battlefield. In the meantime, Russian army has hugely increased in number and power, with far more advanced weaponry compared to Ukraine. Also the ability to monitor the moves of the opponent on the battlefield. European nations begin to protest, refusing to no longer invest money etc. into this proxy war. Why Mr. Blair is a fantasy story teller? He's telling lies about Russia's president in exactly the same manner as when he told lies about Saddam Husein. The chairman of the Institue for Global Change shows up with arrogance and make belief. Creating a mirage, of "doing good" by restoring family lives in Ukraine, while Britain invested in training Ukraine soldiers on its own soil since 2015, sending weapons and money to Ukraine, plus Boris Johnson as the Queen's jester. All that is based on lies, won't stand the tooth of time, for service to life is nihil. It's service to Mr. Blair's own self-image..... damaged good.

I don't know if any Western leader put a lot of trust in Putin when he first took leadership of his country. But it wasn't wrong to make efforts to give Russia a chance to move to an more open and free society after the Soviet collapse. Probably if a more democratic or progressive thinking president had managed to come to power rather than Putin, things would be much different today. But he is who he is and here we are.
