Michael hayden, ande redikoski, ill not iss yu f the caricatueh characterization. Richard ye il, try to be very efficient here. Ue, that's a very important question. I will admit of failing that i didn't pay enough attention to russia at that time. The current vision we have of the russian federation is a very precarious leader who is trying to look for legitimacy for what is fundamentally a very difficult political domestic situation.
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.
