"We Live in the Age of Delusions" - Peter Hitchens
""There is there's we're constantly to people are constantly coming intelligence chiefs come out and say we have to prepare for war. Russia is a great threat. Well, you can believe that if you want. Uh though I find it a struggle.""
Asked what Britain is not talking about, Hitchens says there are ongoing attempts to make the public "warminded", pointing to public warnings by intelligence and defence figures about preparing for war. He argues the Russian military’s capability is routinely exaggerated, later calling a Red Square parade a display of "strategic scrap metal" and citing corruption and poor training.
