For me Alex Thomson is one of the very best commentators.

In this episode, I am joined by Alex Thomson from UK Column to examine the geopolitical history of Ukraine to help understand why the war has broken out at this particular time.

We will look at the mainstream media’s role in portraying the conflict in addition to the incentive structures and economic interests of the West that could perpetuate the war.

Alex Thompson specialises in geopolitics, religious affairs and constitutional matters and has presented his emerging findings via the Eastern Approaches channel on UK Column News since 2014.
