Drone swarms? Artificial Intelligence? Self-targeting rifles? What is does the future hold for weaponry? More than that, how do these weapons change the distribution of power if a smaller state develops a ground breaking technology? We discuss all of this and some other emerging technology in this week's episode!
This week we look at President George W. Bush's choices during his tenure. Candidate Bush and President Bush offered very different views of American international action, largely because of the September 11th attacks. See how we grade the 43rd President of the United States and his foreign policy. Will he fare better than his peers or worse?
Today we decided to do a grab bag-style episode. There are always a few topics which we try to form into episodes, but just can't quite make it happen. Well, we put all of those topics into this episode! We pick one at a time and have a short, two minute talk about each.
This week we look back at President Barack Obama's foreign policy on Russia - the Russian Reset - and his Pivot to the Pacific. We use our 20/20 hindsight to grade his choices again. Does he fair better in these regions than he did in the Middle East? Tune in to find out how we judge President Obama and his dealings in Europe and Asia.
Recent events bring some important questions to our mind regarding how the US operates abroad moving forward. Is this an inflection point? How does U.S. grand strategy change, if at all? And with so many unauthorized people in the Capitol building, is there a potential problem with information leaks?
This week we look back at President Barack Obama's foreign policy regarding the Middle East - Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Pakistan, and Israel. We use our 20/20 hindsight to grade his choices. Does he get an A? An F? Tune in to find out how we judge the 44th President of the United States and his dealings with the Middle East. Next week we cover Europe, Russia, and the Pacific!
Today we tackle the greatest international security threats facing the world in 2020. Great power war or global economic collapse are always on top of leaders' minds. But modern problems like advancing technology and ecological issues seem to be more like talking points rather than concerted efforts.
This week we debate what a collective defense organization for cyberspace operations would look like. Jason is skeptical about this idea - can't NATO do this? But Jake won't back down from a challenge.
Today is the last part of our Space series! This week we talk norms and rocky road surrounding their creation. What are some issue areas that we think should be addressed? What are some norms we think could stabilize space relations? Get these answers and more!
Part two of our space mini series is all about the Space Force. What is it? What is it not? (Hint - It's not the Netflix adaptation!) More importantly though, is the beginning of war in space?
This week starts out Space mini-series! It will be three parts this time, instead of four. Part 1 is all about anti-satellite technology, or ASAT. Tune in to understand this growing threat!
We're back at it again discussing a new topic: US grand strategy. We had to ask though, does the United States have a grand strategy?
We ask another big question this week, "What is the future of the military in cyberspace?" Our answer might surprise you!
This week we tried to answer the question, do we need NATO? Well that really depends on who the "we" is.
An episode based in history! We look back at Operation Mincemeat, a fun story from World War II about a daring British intelligence operation designed to turn the tide of the war.
We took some time today to talk about election infrastructure and the cyber threats posed to this essential part of the democratic process. We try and refrain from talking information operations or polarization!
The finale of our four part series on RNGW! Can you believe we're already here? In this episode we look at the future - what will this strategy look like? How will it develop? Where might we see it? Tune in to find out.
Part 3 of our 4 part mini series on RNGW! This week we look at how the US responded to each event in Part 2. Were the responses effective? Find out by tuning in!
The second episode in our four part mini series on Russian New Generation Warfare! We put the concepts of RNGW into practice, looking at specific examples of how Russia has applied RNGW concepts since 2004.
This is the beginning of our four part series on Russian New Generation Warfare, or RNGW. Here we lay the groundwork. Part 1 is all about defining the various pieces and talking about how they connect.
