In 2014, he joined the Kurds in their battle against ISIS. In 2022, he helped Ukrainians fend off Putin’s Russia. Here, Macer reveals the perils of 21st-century warfare, recalls the joy of liberating Kherson, and explains why Ukrainians are still willing to risk it all for their freedom.

This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Danny Kruger. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked  There is no ‘safe’ way to legalise assisted dying, warns Conservative MP Danny Kruger on spiked today ahead of Friday’s House of Commons vote. Talking to Fraser Myers, he argues that a ‘right to die’ would force the NHS to offer ‘death on demand’. For all the talk of the ‘safeguards’ in the proposed bill, the experience of countries like Canada shows that mission creep is inevitable. There, assisted dying is routinely offered to those who don’t ask for it, and as a substitute for proper care. He urges his fellow MPs to reject this dangerous bill.  Support spiked:   https://www.spiked-online.com/support/  Sign up to spiked’s newsletters: https://www.spiked-online.com/newsletters/
