The Journalist Russia Expelled | Putin’s Demands, Trump’s Role & The War Britain Won't Ignore

Are we headed for another Cold War?

Four years into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, almost half a million people have been killed, rebuilding Ukraine could cost $588 billion, and there's still no clear endgame.

And as the battle of narratives intensifies, the drumbeat for war is getting louder across Europe. Question that narrative and you risk being labelled a Russian propagandist. But is war really inevitable? And what happens when we start treating it that way?
This week on The Tea, we’re joined by veteran journalist and author Luke Harding, author of Betrayal: Trump, Putin and The New Age of Conquest, to examine the growing confrontation between Moscow and the West.
Also in the show:

⚡ The war in Ukraine and the battle of narratives
⚡ The human cost: can Russia really be defeated militarily?
⚡ Trump & Putin: co-imperialists—or something more?
⚡ Is Trump a Russian asset?
⚡ Putin and the far right: a growing alliance?
⚡ If war can’t be won, what comes next?
As the UK edges closer to the frontline of this confrontation, we examine the risks, who benefits, and who pays the price.
