Summary

Joe Biden’s frosty first summit with Putin was designed to put the Russian leader on notice that the days of manipulating America are over. But are they? Special guest Luke Harding – former Guardian Moscow Correspondent and author of Shadow State: Murder, Mayhem and Russia’s Remaking of the West – tells us what Bad Vlad really wants and if Biden can stop him getting it. Plus as we get deeper into the Euros, how will the results shape politics in England, Scotland and Wales? And why we should ensure that everyone lives no more than 15 minutes away from the things they need. Luke Harding from today’s podcast: • “Whatever Biden says, Putin will do what he’s always done: meddling, hacking, and sometimes murdering his enemies.” • “We’ve been in a new cold war since 2008… Russia has effectively chewed up a chunk of Eastern Europe.” • “Putin is now this venerated figure with the Republican base, simply because he was Trump’s buddy.” https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Andrew Harrison with Yasmeen Serhan and Arthur Snell.
