This week, Vladimir Putin hailed a landslide win for a fifth term
in an election with no real opposition, whose result was never in
question. In a victory speech extending his iron grip on power,
Putin warned that World War III between Russia and the West is not
out of the question. Guest host and foreign affairs journalist
Indira Lakshmanan and One Decision’s resident spymaster, former MI6
Chief Sir Richard Dearlove speak with Sir Laurie Bristow, who
served two tours in Putin’s Russia as Britain’s ambassador to
Moscow and as deputy chief of mission, about what to expect in the
next six years from the longest-serving Russian leader since Joseph
Stalin. Bristow says that relations between Russia and NATO are at
their most fragile point since the Cold War. Indira also spoke with
Putin expert Dr. Angela Stent for her readout of the election
results. Stent, a former U.S. national intelligence officer for
Russia and Eurasia says the reelection of Donald Trump could be a
victory for Putin, and warned of Russia’s attempts to meddle in the
U.S. election.
