On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to former secretary of state Colin Powell’s chief of staff, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. He discusses the context of Russia’s invasion, citing NATO expansion after the fall of the Soviet Union as one of Washington’s greatest strategic mistakes. He addresses the deepening international isolation of Russia and President Vladimir Putin, calling it ‘insane’. He outlines what a diplomatic solution needs to look like in order for there to be peace in Ukraine, his belief that NATO and the CSTO should be scrapped in favour of a united European security infrastructure, and much more!
