I think they take the other side of the argument, right? Let's keep answers short and question short, please. Who's at the back? Ipray the russian people. But how can western leaders justify bringing into the cold a government that has recently vetoed a u. N resolution and to condemn the chemical attacks in syria? That's my only question. And there are many things that i don't like about what's going on in russia,. not only in russia, but in russia as well.
This week, we’re going back to 2017, with our debate "It's time to bring Russia in from the cold: Rapprochement is in the West's best interests". For this major event, Intelligence Squared put together a stellar line-up. Making the case for rapprochement with Russia was Vladimir Pozner, one of Russia’s best known television journalists and a former advocate for the Soviet Union, and Domitilla Sagramoso, a leading expert on security in Russia; arguing against them were Michael Hayden, former director of both the CIA and the NSA, and Radek Sikorski, who was Poland’s foreign minister from 2007 to 2014.
The debate was chaired by BBC World News presenter Nik Gowing.
