Description

Ian Proud argues that the Europeans are stuck in a pattern of doubling down on failed policies toward Russia, and he explores the roots of this lack of political imagination. Proud was a member of His Majesty's Diplomatic Service from 1999 to 2023. Ian was a senior officer at the British Embassy in Moscow from July 2014 to February 2019, at a time when UK-Russia relations were particularly tense. He performed a number of roles in Moscow, including as Head of Chancery, Economic Counsellor - in charge of advising UK Ministers on economic sanctions - Chair of the Crisis Committee, Director of the Diplomatic Academy for Eastern Europe and Central Asia and Vice Chair of the Board at the Anglo-American School.

NATO, US-UK, and the European Union Commission do not represent the whole of the world, nor do they have any authority over the majority of the world's population.

They don't want to end the war because when they do the gravy train wheels fall off.
