  • Aiden Aslin joins us for his first television interview for his brand new memoir, 'Putin's Prisoner' - in which he reveals the full, harrowing story of his time not only fighting against Putin's army but his six months facing death in Russian captivity. With dual UK and Ukrainian citizenship, Aiden was living in Ukraine with his wife and serving in the marines when Putin invaded. After joining the frontline, he eventually ended up fighting in the brutal Mariupol steelworks siege before being captured and taken prisoner by Russian forces. Held and tortured for 6 months, Aiden was tried and sentenced to death by a kangaroo court before eventually being freed as part of a prisoner exchange, thanks in part to Roman Abramovich. Aiden's memoir is an incredibly powerful first-hand account of life on the frontline, and why he thought he'd never make it home - co-written by John Sweeney. Aiden now lives in the UK with his wife but is moving back to Ukraine soon.

      Read his book. Maybe before you talk. Guy is absolutely shell shocked and full of PTSD. He is so very thankful to be alive but also is healing and quite aware that there are his friends who still are living what he lived for 5 months- or worse. How many tours have you done?

      So much inhumanity just on UA-cam. Much of it by Russians or Russian sympathizers. He was clearly under durress. Let's see how long you make it in a Russian prison. Being a supporter of the war won't necessarily save you from that fate. Look at Girkin. He's probably having a good old time. Prigozhin was lucky.

    Both sides gain something from NATO expanding to a new country after the fall of communism. Servicemen and service personnel sent in to a new military base to expanded countries of Europe end up spending their salaries locally in the new military base or near the military base in the new member country after the fall of communism. Lawmakers of European national origin living in the western hemisphere usually vote to open American bases and barracks in Europe so that salaries of soldiers are spent in Europe. After the fall of communism, this improves the economy of Europe. In the western hemisphere, including United States, other lawmakers of African national origin and other non European national origin want more Amerrican bases base and more American barracks occupied in Africa and Asia so that salaried soldiers spend their money in Africa and Asia.

    So those people were willing to sacrifise a few of their own men to putin, in order to get this social worker released. Things like these do happen. There is always a soft heart that beats underneath the hardened exterior of every individual including I am sure that of vladimir putin, irrespective of his background and his past, which is why I have never judged anyone ever, but neither do I believe in exploiting and in taking advantage of another persons weakness and their soft corner.
