Drawing from a wealth of experience as a 4 star US Army General and Director of the CIA, David H. Petraeus delivers an insightful overview of the state of play of different conflict regions of the world, in conversation with Kathimerini's Athanassios Ellis.Recorded at the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, Petraeus states that the future of Ukraine relies on the triptych: military innovation, men, and foreign assistance. On the Gaza conflict, he puts forward the proposition that civilian casualties should be kept to a minimum, otherwise we are sowing the seeds of a Hamas 2.0. The conversation concludes with Petraeus' thoughts on Turkey and the complicated relationship with the US, and the bright future of Greek - American elections.

How did strategic missteps early in conflicts such as Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan haunt the United States in the long run? General David Petraeus joins Admiral Robert P. Wright to unpack failures in strategic leadership that plagued these wars from the outset. In a wide ranging discussion, he outlines the four key tasks he believes military and civilian leaders must tackle: getting the big ideas right, communicating them effectively, overseeing rigorous implementation, and constantly refining based on evidence and results. With historical depth and personal perspective from commanding troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Petraeus analyzes Russia's strategic mistakes in invading Ukraine as well. He explains why continued robust aid to Ukraine serves America's national interest in supporting democracies against autocracies aligned with US competitors like China and Iran.[00:00 - 10:05] - Writing the Book and Strategic Leadership FrameworkOutlines 4 key tasks of strategic leadershipApplied model to leadership roles in military, sees parallels in business[10:06 - 25:15] - Vietnam and Iraq Case StudiesFailure in Vietnam was not understanding population-centric counterinsurgencyTwo phases of Bush's leadership in Iraq war; early strategic misstepsPetraeus empowered by Bush's direct leadership and oversight during surge[25:16 - 39:10] - The Long Afghanistan ConflictBrilliant initial 2001 campaign but lacked sustainable inputs and strategyStill sustainable for US at low troop levels compared to VietnamBiden withdrawal opens door for Taliban, Al Qaeda resurgence[39:11 - 49:00] - Russia's Invasion of UkraineZelensky's strategic leadership rallied Ukrainians with powerful messagingRussia underestimated resolve and fighting capability of Ukrainian forcesPetraeus argues continued robust support for Ukraine in US national interest[49:01 - 50:42] - Key Takeaways on Strategic LeadershipImportance of understanding context and getting big ideas rightCommunication and implementation matter little without strategic clarityFailures often trace back to flaws in initial strategic thinking and leadershipKey Quote:“We could not win a war of attrition with a country that regarded casualties very, very differently than we did. “ - General David PetraeusDid you love the value that we are putting out in the show?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/04/22) 3:00pm- Worried about the struggling economy? Don't be! The Washington Post's business section moronically explains why a recession is a good thing for Americans, with reasons that include “housing prices may finally come down to reasonable levels” and “student loan forgiveness is coming.”  3:20pm- Building upon the Washington Post's “7 Ways a Recession Could Be Good for You Financially”, Rich comes up with his own list of benefits to Biden's economy—including that the skyrocketing prices of food will help him eat less and lose some weight.  3:40pm- Andrew C. McCarthy—Senior Fellow at National Review Institute & author of “Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency”—joins the show to discuss his latest editorial, “Larry Krasner's Lies.” McCarthy writes of Philadelphia, “the City of Brotherly Love passed the 400-murder mark for 2022 last week, with a quarter of the year left to go. The 2021 record outpaced New York City by a wide margin (the Big Apple saw 485 murders—a bad year by recent standards), even though New York City's population is more than five times that of Philadelphia.” During a recent interview, District Attorney Larry Krasner deflected accusations that his prosecutorial strategies are ineffective by stating that Pennsylvania, overall, has a high crime rate—but, as McCarthy points out, PA's violent crime problem is “way higher than it should be largely because of Krasner's city, even though Philadelphia accounts for only a little over a tenth of the state's overall population.”   4:05pm- On Thursday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation that would make California a “sanctuary state” for child gender health services and reassignment surgeries. According to Daily Wire, “the new law restricts California officials and health providers from cooperating with out-of-state attempts to stop a child from getting gender health services, which could include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or gender surgery.” In response to criticisms, Governor Newsom stated, “in California we believe in equality and acceptance.”  4:15pm- According to a report from the Manhattan Institute's Christopher Rufo, the American Medical Association is imploring U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice to prosecute commentators on social media who are critical of doctors who perform gender affirmation procedures on children and teens. The AMA claims doctors, and hospitals, have been subjected to numerous threats. 4:35pm- On Friday, President Joe Biden thanked Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Zach Loesch—a hero who saved lives during the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. However, due to the Coast Guard's vaccination mandate, Loesch, who is unvaccinated, is expected to be discharged from service within the next 60 days.  4:40pm- During Tuesday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre explained that the Biden Administration had “no comment” on the potential discharge of Aviation Survival Technician Second Class Zach Loesch due to his unvaccinated status—despite his heroics during Hurricane Ian.  4:45pm- While speaking at the 2022 Freedman Bank Forum on Economic Equity, Secretary Janet Yellen explained that the Biden Administration and U.S. Treasury are adopting economic policies that promote “racial equity.”  5:05pm- Dr. Mehmet Oz—Republican candidate for United States Senate—joins the show to discuss his race against progressive John Fetterman. Despite being behind by 10-points in June, Dr. Oz is now polling within the margin of error. During the interview, Dr. Oz responded to reports that Fetterman vandalized a local business while serving as mayor of Braddock. On Monday, Fetterman used social media to promote a horrific claim that Oz engaged in incidents of animal abuse while conducting research at Columbia University—Dr. Oz flatly refuted the claim, saying it's simply not true. 5:25pm- While appearing on ABC, former CIA Director Gen. David H. Petraeus was asked about the possibility of Russia using nonstrategic or tactical nuclear weapons in its ongoing war with Ukraine. Petraeus suggested that in response, the United States would likely use non-nuclear weapons to sink Russia's Black Sea fleet. 5:40pm- A man has taken advantage of New York's gun buyback program—using his $200 3D printer to manufacture the “lower receivers and frames” of plastic firearms. He was able to trade-in over 100 “guns”, netting $21,000 in gift cards. 5:50pm- While speaking with Bloomberg reporter Akshat Rathi on the Zero podcast, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates said that it was unrealistic for climate activists to expect people to stop eating meat or to forfeit living in nice homes in order to combat the “climate crisis.” 6:05pm- Pennsylvania State Representative Amen Brown joins the show to talk about the unmitigated violence Philadelphia is experiencing. Rep. Brown explains how he has made a habit of going to crime scenes in order to provide comfort to the loved ones of those who have been victimized. During the interview, Rep. Brown breaks-down the recent Pennsylvania House hearings seeking evidence to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner—explaining that he believes Krasner and Mayor Jim Kenney both need to go. He also talks about “Philly Scoreboard” where gangs take credit for crimes committed throughout Philadelphia. Why isn't more being done by city officials to stop this?  6:45pm- According to an NBC/Telemundo poll, Democrats hold a 21-point lead with Latino voters—but that number is down from 42-points in 2012. How could this major shift impact the 2022 midterm elections?

5:05pm- Dr. Mehmet Oz—Republican candidate for United States Senate—joins the show to discuss his race against progressive John Fetterman. Despite being behind by 10-points in June, Dr. Oz is now polling within the margin of error. During the interview, Dr. Oz responded to reports that Fetterman vandalized a local business while serving as mayor of Braddock. On Monday, Fetterman used social media to promote a horrific claim that Oz engaged in incidents of animal abuse while conducting research at Columbia University—Dr. Oz flatly refuted the claim, saying it's simply not true.   5:25pm- While appearing on ABC, former CIA Director Gen. David H. Petraeus was asked about the possibility of Russia using nonstrategic or tactical nuclear weapons in its ongoing war with Ukraine. Petraeus suggested that in response, the United States would likely use non-nuclear weapons to sink Russia's Black Sea fleet.   5:40pm- A man has taken advantage of New York's gun buyback program—using his $200 3D printer to manufacture the “lower receivers and frames” of plastic firearms.

The tumultuous US withdrawal from Afghanistan marked the end of America's “forever wars” and also highlighted the shift in America's focus – away from the Middle East and Central Asia and towards the Indo-Pacific. General (ret.) David H. Petraeus, former head of the CIA and former commander of the US Central Command, will discuss America's shifting strategic priorities in a conversation with the Middle East Institute, National University of Singapore (MEI-NUS). Among other things, the discussion aims to map out how the US' focus on the Indo-Pacific will shape its military and intelligence strategies. It will also tackle the question of how Russia and China's jockeying for strategic positioning vis-a-vis the US will affect security and the regional military balances. This session will be moderated by Dr Alessandro Arduino, Principal Research Fellow, (MEI-NUS). This public talk was conducted online via Zoom on Tuesday, 19 October 2021, from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm (SGT).

This year marks 20 years since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the United States, the precursor to US-led military operations in Afghanistan, joined by Australia. For the two decades, counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency in theatres far from both the US and Australian mainlands was the dominant, operational focus of the Australia-US alliance. Now both Australia and the United States look to focus the Alliance much closer to Australia, the Australia-US alliance a key element in a network of allies and partners working on a wide array of challenges in the Indo-Pacific. What lessons should both countries take from the twenty years since 9/11 for this next phase of the Australia-US alliance? To explore these questions, the United States Studies Centre hosted USSC Non-Resident Senior Fellow Duncan Lewis AO, DSC, CSC and General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Retired). Both held senior leadership roles in uniform and in civilian life during the post-9/11 conflicts and are uniquely well placed to discuss this topic. Moderating the conversation was USSC Visiting Senior Fellow Jane Hardy, whose most recent posting was as the most senior Australian civilian representative at INDOPACOM in Honolulu. Duncan Lewis rose to the rank of Major General in the Australian Army and was appointed the inaugural commander of Australian Special Operations in January 2001. In civilian life, Lewis served as National Security Adviser in the Rudd government (2008-2011), Secretary of the Department of Defence (2011-2012) and Director-General of Security (2014-2019) under Coalition governments. He joined the United States Studies Centre as Non-Resident Fellow earlier this year. David Petraeus served in the US Army for 37 years, with leadership roles including serving as commanding general, Multi-National Force - Iraq (2007-2008), US Central Command (2008-2010) and commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan from 2010-11. He served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (2011-12) during the presidency of Barack Obama. In 2009, Petraeus was awarded an honorary Order of Australia.

Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents a conversation between the director of AEI's Critical Threats Project, Fred Kagan, and General David H. Petraeus on the http://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/isws-overwatch-podcast-series (Overwatch) podcast. Civil war and an unrestrained al Qaeda are all but certain should the US withdraw its forces from Afghanistan in May per the US-Taliban deal signed over a year ago. American disengagement will only embolden revisionist powers and create an even more dangerous security situation for the region and beyond. On this episode of Overwatch, Frederick W. Kagan, director of the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute, and General David H. Petraeus sit down to discuss the US-Taliban agreement, the consequences of a US withdrawal, and a sustainable way forward that protects not only American interests, but also advances those of the Afghan people.

General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Retired) and Vance Serchuk speak with ISW Founder and President Dr. Kimberly Kagan on the dangers of the US deal with the Taliban. They assess what the United States must do in Afghanistan to secure its national interests and prevent another 9/11. The US strategy in Afghanistan has been costly and unsatisfying - but also reasonably successful in preventing another terrorist attack on the homeland. The United States has made a peace deal with the Taliban in order to extricate its forces from Afghanistan, but it will soon lose the means to compel the Taliban to fulfill its part of the bargain. Should the United States pull its military out of Afghanistan anyway? Will the Taliban prevent international terrorists from returning? If so, can the United States counter terrorists in Afghanistan from afar?    General David Petraeus has served as Director of the CIA, Commander of Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Commander of the US Central Command. He is now Chairman of the KKR Global Institute and a partner at KKR.  He also serves on the Board of Directors at the Institute for the Study of War. Vance Serchuk is the Executive Director of the KKR Global Institute and an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. He previously served as the Foreign Policy Adviser to Senator Joseph Lieberman.

We've had the honor of speaking with Michael Yon dozens of times from the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan these past five years. Last night, we caught up with Michael while he is in Thailand, recharging his batteries before returning to the front lines of the war in Afghanistan early next year. I checked the archives because I recalled a rather grim assessment of Afghanistan Michael gave us. That was back in August 2006. I wondered if after all these years, and lives, how he felt about the situation today. Michael was exceedingly cautious, but he did say that under the command of U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus things are starting to improve. What's not improving is the Afghan's ability to govern themselves, starting at the top with President Karzai. Michael is a truly independent journalist, supported by his readers. Please support his work by checking out his amazing website, www.michaelyon-online.com What is Pundit Review Radio?
