Russian & Chinese Espionage Strategies with Former MI6 Chief

Does Russian interference in the infrastructures of Western democracies signify strength, or desperation? How are China’s influence and espionage strategies evolving? How much influence does Vladimir Putin really have over Donald Trump? In Episode 3 of the Future in Review podcast, Berit Anderson speaks with Sir Richard Dearlove, former chief of MI6, about the current geopolitical landscape and evolving dynamics between the US, China, Russia, and Europe. They discuss Russian interference in US and European infrastructures, NATO's response, the influence of Russia on certain European nations, and implications of the Putin–Trump relationship. The conversation also delves into China's approach to warfare, its espionage activities around the world, and the future of relations between Western nations and China. Enjoyed this conversation?
