Podcast appearances and mentions of Derek Chollet

To get an inside look at the current geopolitical landscape — from combating Russia to how the US views the challenge from China— Mosheh sat down with Derek Chollet, who was recently appointed Chief of Staff to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. We discussed how long the war in Ukraine might last, the effort to combat increasing Chinese aggression, the state of the threat from Iran and how the US is trying to bring home the American hostages still being held in Gaza, among other topics.  Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

This episode is the second part of a conversation between four people who knew the late Robert Jervis well: Francis Gavin of the Kissinger Center and chair of the editorial board of the Texas National Security Review; Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl; Mira Rapp-Hooper, a member of the National Security Council staff, where she is responsible for an array of Indo-Pacific issues; and Derek Chollet, the counselor of the State Department.

Multiplication des attaques terroristes ces derniers mois, inflation, pénuries alimentaires, l'Afrique de l'Ouest subit une série de crises aggravées par plusieurs facteurs extérieurs comme la guerre en Ukraine. Des difficultés qui inquiètent la communauté internationale qui craint à terme une déstabilisation de la sous-région. Pour en parler, Derek Chollet, conseiller au département d'État américain. RFI : La guerre en Ukraine a de graves conséquences sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest, avec des manques de fertilisants, de blés, de maïs, une inflation… Ça fait beaucoup en même temps.  Derek Chollet : Absolument, on est face à une tempête parfaite. Le continent devait déjà gérer une crise alimentaire profonde avant même que Vladimir Poutine ne décide d'envahir l'Ukraine. La situation n'a fait que s'aggraver depuis, parce que la Russie empêche les céréales ukrainiennes de rejoindre le marché, c'est pourquoi nous avons concentré beaucoup d'efforts pour limiter la crise, mais particulièrement en Afrique de l'Ouest. Nous avons fourni presque 6 milliards de dollars d'aide alimentaire depuis le début de la guerre, nous travaillons avec plusieurs pays pour limiter leur pénurie d'engrais. Le président Biden vient d'annoncer 500 millions de dollars supplémentaires pour augmenter la production américaine d'engrais. Mais nous tentons aussi de convaincre d'autres pays d'investir davantage dans le secteur, d'encourager des pratiques plus efficaces et de mettre sur le marché des alternatives aux engrais. Nous tentons d'aider à développer des compétences sur le long terme pour faire face à ce genre de crise et permettre une meilleure résistance aux chocs. Mais pour nous, il est très important de nous assurer que la sécurité alimentaire reste une des priorités de l'agenda international. Le sommet du G20 de Bali, il y a dix jours, a désigné la sécurité alimentaire comme une des priorités du groupe et le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Sergueï Lavrov n'a même pas assisté à cette séance ! Ça traduit bien la vision de la Russie concernant cette crise, et je veux être très clair, parce que le sujet est âprement débattu en Afrique : oui, la sécurité alimentaire était déjà un problème avant l'invasion de l'Ukraine en février, mais elle s'est considérablement aggravée à cause de l'invasion russe, et ça n'a rien à voir avec les sanctions prises contre la Russie. Il y a des volets de ces sanctions qui permettent à la nourriture d'arriver sur le marché, c'est à cause de cette guerre lancée par la Russie que tout s'est aggravé. ►À écouter aussi : Invité Afrique - Le conflit en Ukraine aggrave l'insécurité alimentaire en Afrique de l'Ouest, selon la FAO Ces dernières semaines, il y a eu des attaques terroristes au Togo, au Bénin, au Burkina, au Mali… Quelle est votre vision de la situation sécuritaire dans la sous-région ?  C'est évidemment quelque chose que nous regardons de près. Notre armée s'est beaucoup impliquée pour aider nos partenaires à augmenter leur capacité, car construire des armées capables et professionnelles, c'est absolument vital. Cela passe par une amélioration de la gouvernance, l'état de droit, et faire respecter les droits de l'Homme, mais aussi en fournissant des opportunités économiques à des populations qui, peut-être à cause des difficultés économiques, vivent dans une plus grande insécurité… Donc, on se concentre dessus, et nous allons essayer de contribuer davantage à la sécurité économique. Nous pensons que notre engagement là-bas est absolument vital, c'est pourquoi depuis un an, vous avez vu une série de visites d'officiels américains en Afrique et ça va continuer dans les prochaines semaines pour essayer de voir comment nous pouvons continuer notre partenariat et atteindre nos objectifs sécuritaires. L'administration Biden voit nos partenaires en Afrique comme des alliés cruciaux, on ne débarque pas comme ça en disant aux autres ce qu'ils doivent faire ou en réglant les problèmes pour les autres, mais c'est un travail commun avec nos partenaires sur le terrain, pour essayer d'atteindre leurs besoins à court et à long terme, et construire leur capacité au fur et à mesure.   La situation est très tendue entre le Mali et la France, la force Barkhane se retire du pays, est-ce que la lutte contre le terrorisme ne va pas être affaiblie ?  Nous sommes toujours aussi impliqués pour apporter la sécurité, la stabilité et la bonne gouvernance dans la sous-région. Depuis cinq ans, on a fourni des centaines de millions de dollars dans les programmes d'aide sécuritaires bilatérale et pour contrer l'extrémisme. Et nous allons continuer à le faire, nous en parlons beaucoup à nos alliés français, mais aussi aux pays de la région, et bien sûr à l'ONU, surtout à la force Minusma dans sa mission pour protéger les civils. Nous allons maintenir nos efforts et pas seulement militaires, et c'est pour ça que nous nous sommes focalisés sur le Covid, sur le climat, la sécurité alimentaire qui est probablement le dénominateur le plus important de la montée de l'insécurité ces cinq ou six derniers mois, car cela nourrit le sentiment d'insécurité que les extrémistes utilisent, entraînant une menace encore plus grande. ►À lire aussi : Invité Afrique - France au Sahel : « C'est un échec, l'opération Barkhane n'a pas pu endiguer la progression jihadiste »

Many of those who follow War on the Rocks and the Texas National Security Review mourned the passing of Robert Jervis, the towering scholar of international relations who defined a field and mentored generations of scholars and policymakers. Four of his close friends, colleagues, and protégés sat down to remember his legacy, his intellectual contributions, and his kindness. It is a fascinating discussion that touches on a variety of important issues related to international security. This episode, which is the first of two parts, is hosted by Francis Gavin of the Kissinger Center and chair of the editorial board of the Texas National Security Review. He is joined by Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl; Mira Rapp-Hooper, a member of the staff of the National Security Council, where she is responsible for an array of Indo-Pacific issues; and Derek Chollet, the counselor of the State Department.

State Department Counselor Derek Chollet joins the podcast to discuss the U.S. approach to aiding Ukraine, the weapons systems we are providing, Russia's response, and China's stake in the war.

The State Department's Derek Chollet sat down to talk about Russia's Ukraine invasion, China's 21st-century rise, and much more with Defense One Executive Editor Kevin Baron.

As early as November 2021, the Biden administration began to declassify military intelligence about a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine and share it with the public. As declassified material poured in, the world watched the massive grinding gears of Russia's war machine creep towards Kyiv. Despite what seemed imminent—almost obvious—the White House and the State Department were under intense scrutiny. It wasn't clear whether the strategy of opening the information floodgates would disrupt Moscow's actions or provoke Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine. On this week's episode, Ray Suarez discusses President Biden's Ukraine strategy with US State Department Counselor Derek Chollet.  Guests:  Derek Chollet, Counselor of the United States Department of State Host:  Ray Suarez, co-host of World Affairs If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

The battle for Donbas has begun. This week fresh Russian troops poured into the eastern region of Ukraine in what is shaping up as a major offensive aimed at ceasing full control of a substantial slice of the embattled country. At the same time, Vladimir Putin's forces appear to be intensifying their bombardments throughout Ukraine killing civilians, choking off evacuation routes and committing what US officials say are war crimes. What is the Biden Administration doing in response? And is there any hope left for a diplomatic solution? State Department Counselor Derek Chollet, one of Secretary of State Antony Blinken's top advisors, joins to discuss.

With the imminent threat of a Russian attack on Ukraine looming, the United States is urging for more diplomacy between the West and Russia. The crisis has put the spotlight on the relationship the United States has with its European allies at a time when a unified front on Russia is preferred. Although the focus has been primarily on what's unfolding in Ukraine, it isn't the only foreign policy challenge that awaits the United States this year. Counselor to the U.S. Department of State Derek Chollet joins Doug to unpack the ongoing Ukraine crisis and the challenges and successes for the Biden administration's foreign policy. Fiona Hill.

Joe Biden says "relentless diplomacy" will be at the heart of American foreign policy. But the Aukus pact with Britain and Australia, reached without consulting other allies, angered European leaders, notably France's Emmanuel Macron.

This conversation was recorded on October 27th, 2020. In today's fun and educative episode, freelance journalist in Brussels Teri Schultz  had a discussion with her guests Derek Chollet, Steven Keil and Chris Skaluba, about their recommendation that NATO rethink and replace its 2% spending guideline. You will learn what this is, reasons to rethink and replace it and how it's measured, all in this episode. That's why this is a must watch if you want to learn about this and much more. In this episode, we learn: - The 2% pledge that was made at the Wales NATO Summit of 2014 that, countries should start to someday spend 2% of their GDP on their own militaries. - Why it's time to drop the 2%, why it hasn't worked and its shortcomings and also the way forward suggested. - Reasons why countries spending 2% of their GDP on militaries was an imperfect metrics to use and what responsible Alliance partnership looks like. - Also that the 2% is not the only metric by which a country's contribution is measured - How the US measures its defense spending versus how Germany measures its own defense spending and how it looks at what it needs to defend. - About the imperfections that arose due to the metrics that the conference came up with in 2014 and how it brought up the spending.  - That the 2% is measurement by inputs, but it's recommended that it should be measured by inputs and outputs and why. - If adding some of the costs such as cyber spending and saying that that should be part of the 2% would work so as to expand the definition of what could be considered a contribution to 2%. - The most important of the recommendations on the 2% pledge issue.

When the pandemic spread to Europe, NATO was met with a unique challenge: it needed to assist with crisis response while also keeping its ever-important deterrence mission intact on its Eastern Flank. On this week’s episode of “Post-Pandemic Order,” Derek Chollet talks with a key leader in this effort, Estonian Minister of Defense Jüri Luik, about how NATO’s mission evolved (and what stayed the same) throughout the pandemic—and what he learned about the military’s role during this unforeseen public health crisis. Minister Luik also discusses the resurgence of great power competition and how to balance the new challenges posed by China and with the continuing ones posed by Estonia’s neighbor, Russia. The conversation also covers the state of European defense spending – a much contested topic in the transatlantic relationship-- and why military spending should not become another victim of the pandemic, despite a bleak economic forecast.

Often when we discuss national security we tend to focus on “hard security concepts,” things like military capability, nuclear weapons, deterrence, and other things that are comfortable to those that have studied security for a long time. But what does it mean to be secure? Are people secure from something or someone? And who is it that we mean by the concept of “the nation”? Frequent listeners to Horns will have heard in the discussion with Kori Schake, Derek Chollet, and Jim Goldgeier, the notion that the concurrent pandemic and crisis of racial justice requires us to reconceptualize what we mean by “national security.”   In this episode of Horns of a Dilemma Doyle Hodges, the executive editor of the Texas National Security Review, sits down with Shirin Sinnar, professor at Stanford University Law School, to discuss race, identity, and national security.

The perils of disinformation are no new phenomenon, but the last few months have shown just how much damage it can do—and all the different ways it can be used. On this week’s episode, Jared Cohen, founder and CEO of Jigsaw—the independent unit at Google focused on building technology to address global security challenges—joins Derek Chollet to discuss the brave new world of the internet in the post-pandemic order. While disinformation once needed to be manufactured, conspiracy theories now grow organically and can then be exploited by both state and non-state actors in far-reaching ways. Who should be charged with stemming this tide, and who actually has the tools to be successful? According to Cohen, who also has a deep foreign policy background, the international order has two fronts: physical and digital. He explains his surprise (and what early adherents of social media platforms got wrong) with China’s ability to seamlessly adapt to the digital world—and what the coronavirus has exposed about the seeming advantages closed societies have in navigating technology while open societies have struggled.   The conversation also turns to American history and Cohen’s book, “Accidental Presidents: Eight Men Who Changed America,” and why the upcoming presidential election in the United States could very likely be a perfect storm—a combination of 1876, 2000, and 2020 all in one.

The United States faces a unique confluence of crises right now. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented economic and social impact on society, and has caused many people to reconceptualize what “national security” means. At the same time, the nation finds itself convulsed by issues of racial injustice and the response to issues in our criminal justice system. This likewise causes a reconceptualization of what it means to be secure, and raises questions about the role of the military and security forces in the United States. In this episode Doyle Hodges, the executive editor of the Texas National Security Review, sits down with a panel of policymakers and academics to discuss how academics and those who study questions of war and peace broadly defined, can best influence and help as the United States works its way forward during these parallel crises. The panel features Kori Schake, director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, Jim Goldgeier, the Robert Bosch senior visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution and professor of international relations at American University, and Derek Chollet, the executive vice president of the German Marshall Fund.

Pete Buttigieg—the Democratic party's first openly gay presidential candidate and a veteran who served in Afghanistan—has gained international prominence. In a conversation originally streamed live as part of GMF’s Brussels Forum, Mayor Pete joined Derek Chollet for a wide-ranging conversation on race relations in America, the state of the Democratic party amidst the 2020 elections, U.S. foreign policy and what U.S. global leadership at a tumultuous moment.  What experiences stuck with him from the primary, and which issues resonated most with the voters he met on the campaign trail? Where is the future of U.S. leadership at home and abroad headed at this pivotal moment when a public health crisis and civil unrest are converging with a critical election season? This conversation was streamed live on June 4. GMF’s Brussels Forum will run through the end of the month, for more information or to register for upcoming sessions visit brussels.gmfus.org

In a new essay for The Atlantic, titled “We Are Living in a Failed State,” veteran writer George Packer observes: “If the pandemic really is a kind of war, it’s the first to be fought on this soil in a century and a half. Invasion and occupation expose a society’s fault lines, exaggerating what goes unnoticed or accepted in peacetime, clarifying essential truths, raising the smell of buried rot.”    In this episode, Packer joins Derek Chollet to discuss what the pandemic has revealed about an already-broken America and why instead of being “the great leveler,” it has resulted in a deepening of existing fault lines—a trend that Packer predicts will continue as the November elections approach.

In this week’s episode of “Post-Pandemic Order,” we’re back in Washington where Derek Chollet is joined by Michigan congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (D-MI 8) whose extensive background in national security is informing the way she is fighting the coronavirus pandemic within her district and from a foreign policy and defense perspective. With Congress passing trillions of dollars in relief bills, Rep. Slotkin and Derek talk about the view from Capitol Hill, and how the U.S. balances a new web of public health, economic, and national security imperatives moving forward -- and why more strategic thinking and “smart stimulus” are essential.  Slotkin, who was part of the Pentagon’s response to the Ebola crisis before running for Congress, notes how the coronavirus has exposed unpreparedness at the global level to confront health crises at this scale; and says the entire international community needs to cooperate on a huge “lessons learned” process.

Though this pandemic is first and foremost a health battle, the experience has also surfaced ideological clashes: autocracy vs. democracy; globalization vs. nationalism; left vs. right; interconnectedness vs. isolation. With Germany at the center of many of these big debates, prominent German parliamentarian Cem Özdemir—member of the Green political party-- joins GMF’s Derek Chollet to talk about the geopolitics of coronavirus and the view from Europe’s biggest economy. Özdemir, who recovered from the virus himself, discusses Europe’s “Corona Bonds” debate and the various forces pushing-and-pulling how Europe manages its own economic recovery. Among other topics, the conversation covers the threat of authoritarianism in this crisis and the case for liberalism to prevail. Plus: the critical questions about what the virus has exposed about interconnected societies—and what comes next.

Our latest episode of The Global Cable features our Visiting Fellow Derek Chollet, Executive Vice President and Senior Advisor for security and defense policy at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. He served in senior positions during the Obama administration at the White House, State Department, and Pentagon, most recently as the U.S. assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs.   As the historic impeachment trial against President Donald Trump continues in the Senate, Chollet reflects on the impact for the United States and its role on the global stage. Music & Produced by Tre Hester.

About the Lecture: The Trump Administration's national defense strategy contains the following judgment: “The central challenge to U.S. prosperity and security is the reemergence of long-term, strategic competition by…revisionist powers.” Why has “great-power competition” become a—if not the—dominant construct guiding the U.S. foreign policy establishment's understanding of contemporary geopolitics? What are its analytical underpinnings and prescriptive implications?

Tommy talks with former top defense official Derek Chollet about Donald Trump Jr.’s keystone cops collusion with Russia before transitioning to a conversation about the fight against ISIS in Mosul, Syria and the Trump administration’s policy in Afghanistan. It was incredible. Tell your friends. 

Derek Chollet, former Obama defense department official discusses Obama's foreign policy, Syria and the infamous red line and why some of President-elect Trump's picks to head the Pentagon and Homeland Security are actually good hires.

Derek Chollet is the author of the new book The Long Game: How Obama Defied Washington and Redefined America's Role in the World.  Derek served in a number of foreign policy positions in the Obama administration, including in the National Security Council, State Department and finally as an assistant secretary of defense for international security so this book serves, very much, as an insider's assessment of 7 years of Obama's foreign policy.    We kick off with an extended discussion about his book and Obama's foreign policy more broadly before pivoting to a conversation about Derek's fascinating career path from a college town in Nebraska to the highest reaches of US foreign policy making.   

Is Barack Obama's foreign policy "failing at nearly every turn," as Speaker Paul Ryan and many other Republicans contend? Or has the president actually crafted a wiser, more effective approach to America's place in the world that sets this country up for success? Derek Chollet, a six-year veteran of the Obama administration, takes the latter view in his new book, The Long Game: How Obama Defied Washington and Redefined America's Role in the World (PublicAffairs). Ryan Evans, WOTR's editor-in-chief, sat down with Chollet, currently at the German Marshall Fund, and Richard Fontaine, the president of the Center for a New American Security, for an energetic debate on the legacy that this president will leave behind.

The Iran deal adopted in July 2015 was an effort not only to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons but also to avert a nuclear arms competition in the Middle East. But uncertainties surrounding the future of the agreement, including the question of what Iran will do when key restrictions on its nuclear program expire after 15 years, could provide incentives for some of its neighbors to keep their nuclear options open. A Brookings panel--including Robert Einhorn, Richard Nephew, Suzanne Maloney, Amb. Youssef Al Otaiba of the UAE, and Derek Chollet of the German Marshall Fund--discuss a new report on the deal's implementation.

In moderated debate style, Bacevich and Chollet will discuss the following topics and take questions from the audience. What is the right size and role of the U.S. military today? Drones, surveillance and technology – how and when should they be used? Does the all-volunteer military influence America’s willingness to intervene globally? Would a draft reduce U.S. military involvement? Is the permanent commitment of U.S. troops abroad in peaceful nations necessary and sustainable?

When the Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989—or 11/9—many Americans turned their attention away from foreign policy, and only re-awakened to world affairs on 9/11, even though trends that led to that day—failed states, religious extremism, terrorism—were brewing during the happy-go-lucky, self-congratulatory 1990s. Derek Chollet, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, and James Goldgeier, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, brilliantly mapping the forces that shaped the post-Cold War era, discuss how the legacy of the 1990s is vital to understanding the challenges faced by the Obama administration, and why foreign policy is more difficult when it doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker.
