Miller also talks about how corresponding American and European risk assessments of the likelihood of an increasingly aggressive China differ – and what's needed to properly assess the risk around this critical industry. Ben, Aaron and Chris draw key lessons from the semiconductor industry's history – including the role it played in winning the cold war – and highlight how democracies need to activate their advantages to prevail once more.

Washington's likely failure in Ukraine shows the US needs a new national security strategy. Andrew A. Michta is senior fellow and director of the Scowcroft Strategy Initiative at the Atlantic Council of the United States. The views expressed here are his own: "The United States Senate's failure to pass an aid package for Ukraine last month will likely be remembered as the first domino to fall in Russia's war of aggression, potentially setting the stage for Russian President Vladimir Putin's victory. And while the U.S. Congress is expected to try again in 2024, this was a clear sign that the West has grown weary of an open-ended “as-long-as-it-takes” approach. If this is to change, it's time for a new strategy. It's true that U.S. President Joe Biden's administration succeeded in leading NATO toward a common response to Russia's unprovoked invasion — and this will be remembered as a splendid manifestation of America's strategic DNA. But what followed has muddied the waters — especially the drawn-out and overly cautious process of providing military assistance to Ukraine. Most importantly, the U.S. and its allies should have laid out a clear vision for victory. Instead, we heard from various officials that it's either up to Ukraine to decide what the end state should be, that Putin can't be allowed to win, or that Ukraine can't be allowed to lose. Like the saying goes: If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there." ---------- Dr Andrew A.

Trwa ewakuacja obcokrajowców i Afgańczyków, którzy współpracowali z zachodnimi armiami. To, co dzieje się dziś w Afganistanie, to fiasko kilku dekad polityki amerykańskiej opartej na błędnej ideologii – mówi rozmówca Raportu. Na czym polegał błąd Amerykanów i dlaczego powtarzany był tak długo? Na granicy polsko-białoruskiej kilkudziesięciu migrantów koczuje między punktami granicznymi obu krajów. Jak zachować się humanitarnie wobec tych ludzi, wiedząc, że są oni wykorzystywani jako narzędzie polityczne przez białoruskiego despotę? Tysiące Haitańczyków ofiarami trzęsienia ziemi. Dlaczego i czy słusznie patrzymy na ten kraj, jak na współczesną wersję jądra ciemności? Saamowie - rdzenny lud żyjący w Norwegii i Szwecji - domagają się poszanowania swoich praw i tożsamości. Dlaczego tak długo nikt nie zwracał na to uwagi? Jak fotografować religię? Porozmawiamy o niezwykłej wystawie fotograficznej, której autor spróbował odpowiedzieć na to pytanie, rejestrując religijne gesty, rytuały i zwyczaje wyznawców siedmiu religii z Azji południowo-wschodniej. Opowiemy również o kłamstwie w polityce – niby nic nowego, ale jego odmiany potrafią zaskoczyć. ——— Andrew A. Michta is the dean of the College of International and Security Studies at the George C.

Barrels of ink have been spilt on the importance of allies to U.S. security interests. But allies are only of value if they do their part to contribute to shared interests. There are troubling trends in the U.S. alliance structure, especially in NATO. Russia is hard at work sowing dissension among our European partners while it aggressively moves to influence events across Europe, the Middle East, and even North Africa. China is expanding its reach across Asia, rapidly modernizing its ability to project military power, methodically building an overland trade network, and has become a key economic partner for many countries in Europe. Meanwhile, the military power of the NATO alliance has shrunk, aged, and (especially in Europe) become less ready for use than when it stood as a bulwark against Soviet aggression. Has the divergence of U.S. and European perceptions of the threats posed by Russia and China become so great that security and economic interests are at substantial risk? Is there a path forward that ensures Western, democratic, free-market countries can sustain their systems in the face of expansionist authoritarianism? Join us for a provocative conversation about all of this with Dr. Andrew A. Michta, Dean of the College of International and Security Studies at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies who will discuss the key elements of his new essay “U.S. Alliances: Crucial Enablers in Great-Power Competition” which will be featured in the Heritage Foundation’s 2021 Index of U.S. Military Strength. (Dr. Michta will be presenting his own views that do not necessarily reflect those of the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, the Department of Defense, or the United States Government.) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
