The comments show how difficult \u2014 if not impossible \u2014 it will be for the West to reach any kind of meaningful peace agreement with Russia. The Russophobia in the West is so intense and widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. On 12 September 2025, I appeared on \u201cI,\u201d which is associated with The Times and The Sunday Times in London, as well as Rupert Murdoch\u2019s News Broadcasting. I spoke with the host, Adam Boulton, about Ukraine, US Middle East Policy, President Trump\u2019s stewardship of US foreign policy, and the state of America\u2019s liberal democracy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What is most striking is not the interview itself, which I thought went very well, but the comments viewers posted. They are remarkably hostile to me and my views. I am not complaining about them\u2014 as I am fair game \u2014 but I think the comments show how difficult \u2014 if not impossible \u2014 it will be for the West to reach any kind of meaningful peace agreement with Russia. The Russophobia in the West is so intense and widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
