The War On Truth: The Cold Warriors of the postwar world never dreamed that Western democracies would become to rely on a global information network – and that our very openness could be turned against us. As the stories of Brexit, COVID and Trump coalesce into one nightmare tale of disinformation and weaponised lying, Arthur Snell asks whether democracy can survive in a post-truth world.

Description
Two weeks into Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and things aren’t going to plan. Kyiv is still yet to fall, and Russian troops have failed to make substantial progress against fierce Ukrainian resistance.
Defence analyst and military historian Dr Peter Caddick-Adams joins Arthur Snell to pinpoint where Russia’s shameful war went wrong… and what could happen next.

“Russia still has conscription, and we in the west don’t understand how badly conscripts are treated.”
“Zelensky has become Churchill. His words and the way he delivers them have a real sense of validity.”
“Standing up to Putin is like standing up to Josef Stalin. It’s simply not an option.”
“While Russia wants to control Ukraine, it doesn’t want to occupy it. Their army is nowhere near big enough.”
“The more Putin pulls off his gloves, the more the world is turns back to 1989.”
“This is a war where history is really relevant. There are parallels with city battles from World War 2.”
