The article discusses the implications of Donald Trump's support for Russia amidst the Ukrainian conflict, suggesting that it signifies a shift towards a global order where power supersedes law. Alex Younger, former head of MI6, emphasizes Britain's crucial role as a mid-ranking power to lead in establishing a new international framework and ensuring justice for Ukraine. The challenges faced by UK political leaders echo historic moments, yet present opportunities for moral leadership. The necessity of transatlantic unity is highlighted, with economic considerations proving vital for US interests.
The spilled Ukrainian blood counted for nothing as Donald Trump openly sided with Russia to achieve a peace that can only reward it for its unilateral aggression.
Britain may be only a middle-ranking power but, given the politics and defence capacity of the rest of Europe, it has a special responsibility to take a lead.
Britons overwhelmingly recognise Vladimir Putin and Trump for who they are, that Ukraine's battle is existential and that what we have done before we may have to do again.
The geopolitical challenges confronting Keir Starmer are as profound as those of 1945 or 1989: but also the opportunity to demonstrate defence and moral leadership.
