Is America undermining the rules-based international order? Are we jeopardizing the stability and predictability of the very system that we built for the world?

Will China invade Taiwan? If so, when and what signs should we look for that will show it is imminent? How exactly could Beijing seize the island? And what would the US do in response? These questions have been at the core of Indo-Pacific security concerns for decades, but in recent years, the threat has become more tangible - and the questions more urgent. In the final episode of this three-part series on China's military, Venetia Rainey looks at different analyses of whether Beijing is getting ready to invade the self-ruled island it claims as its own. Plus, she examines the different scenarios that could unfold and crucially, what that would mean for a conflict with the US and a potential Third World War. This series dives into the strengths and weaknesses of China's military and its remarkable transformation over the last few decades from obsolete to world-class.How significant is China's military buildup? What does Xi Jinping's ongoing purge mean for the People's Liberation Army? And how likely is an invasion of Taiwan in the next few years? As the US pivots to the Indo-Pacific and the threat of a truly global war looms, understanding the evolving role of China's military on the world stage has never been more important.With thanks to Dr Phillip Saunders and Joel Wuthnow from the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, Oriana Skylar Mastro from the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University, Meia Nouwens from the China Programme at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Timothy Heath at RAND, Amanda Hsiao at Eurasia Group, and The Telegraph's Asia Correspondent Allegra Mendelson.

China's military is not a real army - it's the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party. Ideology is paramount and corruption is endemic. Plus, the People's Liberation Army hasn't fought a war since 1979. Xi Jinping calls it “the peace disease”. In episode two of this three-part series, Venetia Rainey looks at the PLA's weaknesses and how the Chinese president Xi is trying to fix them, from endless purges of top generals to a specially built training centre in Mongolia and live-fire drills around Taiwan.

China ranks second globally in STEM education development, trailing only the United States, according to a new index released on Sunday by the Tongji University STEM Education think tank in Shanghai. 上海同济大学 STEM 教育智库周日发布的一项新指数显示，中国在 STEM 教育发展方面位居全球第二，仅次于美国。 The Global STEM Education Development Index 2025, billed as the world's first comprehensive evaluation tool for national and regional science, technology, engineering and mathematics education development, placed the US in the top position with 86.50 points. China followed closely with 85.46 points. Switzerland, Singapore and Denmark rounded out the top five countries. 《2025 全球 STEM 教育发展指数》被誉为全球首个针对国家和地区科学、技术、工程与数学教育发展的综合评估工具。该指数中，美国以 86.50 分位居榜首，中国以 85.46 分紧随其后，瑞士、新加坡和丹麦跻身前五。 The index, developed with academic guidance from the Chinese Society of Educational Development Strategy and data from Elsevier, systematically assessed the STEM education development levels of 40 major countries and regions worldwide. It established 22 indicators across three dimensions: policy and resources, educational processes, and outcomes and impacts, aiming to provide a scientific benchmark for optimizing national STEM education strategies.该指数在全国教育发展战略学会的学术指导下编制，数据来源于爱思唯尔（Elsevier），系统评估了全球 40 个主要国家和地区的 STEM 教育发展水平。指数从政策与资源、教育过程、成果与影响三个维度设置了 22 项指标，旨在为优化各国 STEM 教育战略提供科学基准。 A representative from Tongji University highlighted the increasing global technological competition, stating that STEM education has become a core pillar supporting national innovation capacity and high-quality development. 同济大学一位代表强调，全球科技竞争日益激烈，STEM 教育已成为支撑国家创新能力和高质量发展的核心支柱。 The release of the index is a direct response to a guideline jointly published in January by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, which called for deepening international STEM education cooperation and creating internationally influential indexes and reports. 该指数的发布是对今年 1 月中共中央、国务院联合印发的一份指导意见的直接响应，意见中呼吁深化 STEM 教育国际合作，打造具有国际影响力的指数和报告。 Further underscoring international recognition of China's STEM practices is the establishment of UNESCO's first Category 1 Center outside Europe and North America — the International Institute for STEM Education — in Shanghai. 联合国教科文组织在上海设立了国际 STEM 教育研究所，这是该组织在欧美以外地区设立的首个一类中心，进一步彰显了国际社会对中国 STEM 教育实践的认可。 The US' top ranking was attributed to its strong institutional and resource advantages, particularly in education funding as a percentage of GDP, its per-student expenditure and abundant education resources. 美国之所以位居榜首，得益于其强大的制度和资源优势，尤其是在教育经费占 GDP 比例、生均教育支出以及丰富的教育资源方面。 China, despite a relative gap in per capita resources, excelled in the "educational processes"dimension. Its outstanding performance in teachers' STEM competency scores, results from the Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, competition achievements and large-scale STEM graduate output helped offset these resource disparities. 中国尽管在人均资源方面存在相对差距，但在 “教育过程” 维度表现突出。其在教师 STEM 能力评分、国际学生评估项目（PISA）成绩、竞赛成果以及大规模 STEM 毕业生输出等方面的优异表现，弥补了这些资源差距。 Among emerging economies, India produced the world's largest number of STEM graduates at 3.34 million. However, its per-student funding amounted to only 17 percent of US levels, leading to a lower overall ranking of 30th place. 在新兴经济体中，印度的 STEM 毕业生数量全球最多，达 334 万人。但该国生均教育经费仅为美国的 17%，导致其总体排名较低，位列第 30 位。 The report emphasized that high proportions of education funding in GDP and per-student expenditure provide ample hardware support for research and teaching, fostering a virtuous cycle between basic research and talent cultivation. It also validated the significant impact of industry-academia-research collaboration and open international cooperation on the efficiency of STEM research output translation. 报告强调，教育经费占 GDP 比例高、生均教育支出高，能为科研和教学提供充足的硬件支持，促进基础研究与人才培养之间的良性循环。报告还证实，产学研合作以及开放的国际合作对 STEM 研究成果转化效率具有显著影响。 In past international assessments, Chinese students have demonstrated strong performance. The 2018 PISA, hosted every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, found that 15-year-olds in Beijing, Shanghai and the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang ranked No 1 in all three core subjects — reading, science and mathematics — achieving the highest Level 4 rating. While China did not participate in the 2022 PISA test, it has consistently been among the top scorers. 在过去的国际评估中，中国学生表现优异。经济合作与发展组织每三年举办一次 PISA 测试，2018 年的测试显示，北京、上海、江苏、浙江的 15 岁学生在阅读、科学、数学三个核心科目中均排名第一，达到最高的 4 级水平。尽管中国未参加 2022 年 PISA 测试，但此前一直位居高分行列。 Domestically, China is prioritizing AI education. A recent document issued by the Ministry of Education outlines a tiered AI education system covering all levels of primary and secondary education. The system will guide students from basic cognitive understanding in primary school to deeper analysis in middle school and applied innovation in high school. At the higher education level, the development of artificial intelligence education at universities has been a priority. 在国内，中国正优先发展人工智能教育。教育部近期发布的一份文件规划了覆盖中小学各学段的分级人工智能教育体系。该体系将引导学生在小学阶段形成基础认知，初中阶段进行深入分析，高中阶段开展应用创新。在高等教育层面，高校人工智能教育的发展已成为重点。 Since 2018, when the first 35 Chinese universities introduced undergraduate AI programs, the field has expanded significantly, with over 626 institutions nationwide now offering AI-related degrees. 自 2018 年中国首批 35 所高校开设人工智能本科专业以来，该领域发展显著，目前全国已有 626 所院校开设人工智能相关专业。 STEM /stem/ 科学（Science）、技术（Technology）、工程（Engineering）、数学（Mathematics）的缩写 index /ˈɪndeks/ 指数，指标 competency /ˈkɒmpɪtənsi/ 能力，胜任力 collaboration /kəˌlæbəˈreɪʃn/ 合作，协作

Managing your time as a college student is getting difficult? Gerald Robison has pastored churches on three continents, trained over 1,200 Bible teachers in over twenty-five countries, served as the international training manager for Walk Thru the Bible, and founded and cofounded three ministries. Affectionately known as “Dr. G” to many, he has a deep foundation for ministry. He was called to ministry while still in high school and began preparations for it. He achieved his BA in psychology and counseling at Furman and Mercer Universities, his master's degree and his Doctor of Ministry at Luther Rice Seminary, another master's degree in education and counseling at Georgia State University, and more graduate studies at the International Institute of Theology and Law sponsored by Simon Greenleaf School of Law and the International Institute of Human Rights sponsored by the University of Strasbourg, France. In episode 584 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what originally sparked his passion for global missions and ministry work, what are common examples of these unused moments in college, what are practical habits students can adopt today to start redeeming their time like Elon Musk, how we can turn short moments into powerful opportunities for growth or productivity, advice for students who are searching for their life's purpose or feeling unsure about their future path, a mistake he made early in his leadership journey that taught him something invaluable about managing time, how students can develop the discipline to live intentionally, how students can live out a global vision in a very local college setting, and one lasting message about faith. Enjoy!

Think contracts are just boring paperwork? Think again. This real-life tale dives into what happens when a “sure thing” gig turns into a disappearing act—thanks to one agent's total fear of commitment (to a contract, that is). It's funny, frustrating, and a little too relatable for anyone who's ever said yes without seeing the fine print. If you've ever trusted a handshake and hoped for the best, you'll want to read this. Spoiler: it ends with a bang… and not the kind you expect.   https://www.TheWorkLady.com  Jan McInnis is a top change management keynote speaker and comedian.

WORKING FOR GLOBAL SECURITY. Sir John Chipman KCMG is Executive Chairman of The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).  As former Director-General and Chief Executive of the IISS he directed its growth globally as the world's premier institute providing facts and analysis on international security issues. He developed the IISS role as a convener of vital inter-governmental summits, conceiving and establishing two regional security institutions under IISS auspices: in the Asia-Pacific the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue hosted by Singapore, and in the Middle East the IISS Manama Dialogue hosted by Bahrain. “Europe's strategic personality will be ushered in through NATO's new spending doors.” “It's sometimes underestimated how diverse the power centres have become in today's world. Big companies in particular, having more power than most medium-sized states.” “The proliferation risk is very high right now.”

Up until last week, it seemed unthinkable for a UN member state to strike a nuclear site. But Israel did just that when it launched its attack on Iran, hitting military and atomic sites, and killing key figures of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It also seemed unthinkable for missiles to penetrate Israel's Iron Dome and destroy infrastructure in cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv. Yet again, civilians are paying the heaviest price. More than 240 people have been killed in Iran so far. In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed in retaliatory strikes. One week on, the war shows no signs of abating, with the US hinting it might get involved, too. A sense of unease has gripped the region, with neighbouring states fearing further escalation. A group of 20 countries including Gulf states, Jordan and Egypt has called for an end to hostilities. In a worst-case scenario, the repercussions could be catastrophic for them, too. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the consequences of the war on the Middle East and asks what will happen to the region if Tehran were to fall? She speaks to Hasan AlHasan, senior fellow for Middle East policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and Thomas Juneau, Middle East researcher and a professor at University of Ottawa, Canada.

Das Eisschild Grönlands schwindet und mit ihm gleitet Camp Century langsam ins Nordpolarmeer. Ein Podcast über eine Umweltkatastrophe aus Nachlässigkeit. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Was werden Sie in diesem Podcast hören? „Eine bizarre Geschichte“, so fasst es Horst Machguth zusammen. Der Glaziologe an der Universität Lausanne hat sie 2016 publik gemacht: Es geht um eine verlassene Militärbasis auf Grönland. Camp Century in der Arktis lag einmal tief im Firn Grönlands vergraben. Die US-Militärbasis sollte nach dem Sputnikschock im Oktober 1957 eine Bastion gegen die Sowjetunion sein und war für die Zukunft gemacht. Diese Zukunft ist jetzt da, und sie ist anders als die Erbauer glaubten. Das Eis schmilzt, und die Stadt unter dem Eis gleitet unaufhaltsam in das Nordpolarmeer. Eine tödliche Fracht voller Schwermetalle, Altöl und radioaktivem Abfall.Camp Century wurde schon 1967 aufgegeben, der Kalte Krieg hatte neue Technologien und Wege gefunden. Schon zu Beginn der Grabungen war klar, dass der Firn keine Stollen trägt, dass die Idee mit den Abschussrampen im Eis nicht funktioniert. Es lohnt die Frage: Wie konnte es zu einer derartigen Fehleinschätzung der Folgen kommen? Antworten geben: Horst Machguth, der Glaziologe, der die Welt als Erster über das Vermächtnis von Camp Century informierte; Jakob Abermann, ein Meteorologe und Gletscherforscher, der das Schicksal des Eisschilds auf Grönland erforscht und Heinz Gärtner, Politologe und Experte für den Kalten Krieg.Camp Century liegt etwa 240 Kilometer östlich der Thule Airbase (Pittufik), das ist jene, die der Vizpräsident der USA, J.D. Vance, Ende März 2025 besuchte. Für die Thule Airbase wurden die ursprünglichen Bewohner zwangsumgesiedelt, von Uummannaq (Thule) in das neu gegründete Qaanaaq.Gebraucht hat man die Militär-Basis im Firn nie. Sie war eine reine Cover-Aktion. Doch auch als solche war sie schon überflüssig, bevor sie fertig war.Unsere Gäste in dieser Folge: Jakob Abermann ist Meteorologe und forscht an der Universität Graz am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung. In seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit dreht sich alles um Klima, Eis und Schnee: Es geht um Wechselwirkungen zwischen Kryo- und Atmosphäre. Nach Forschungsaufenthalten in Chile, ist Grönland sein Forschungsschwerpunkt und wegen der oft jahrelangen Feldforschung häufig der Lebensmittelpunkt. Auf Grönland erhobene Daten sollen Aufschluss über Vergangenheit und Zukunft des Klimawandels geben.Heinz Gärtner ist Politikwissenschaftler, er lehrt an der Universität Wien, leitet den Beirat des International Institute for Peace (IIP) und ist Vorsitzender des Strategie- und Sicherheitspolitischen Beirats des Österreichischen Bundesheeres. Er leitete als wissenschaftlicher Direktor das Österreichische Institut für internationale Politik – oiip. Seine Forschung über die USA, Fragen internationaler Sicherheit, Abrüstung und Rüstungskontrolle führten ihn unter anderem an die Universitäten Erlangen, Stanford, Oxford und die Johns Hopkins in Washington, an denen er als Gastprofessor tätig war. Heinz Gärtner hat neben Fachbeiträgen zahlreiche Bücher geschrieben, zuletzt erschien von ihm Ideen zum positiven Frieden. Der Kalte Krieg ist einer seiner Forschungsschwerpunkte.Horst Machguth ist Glaziologe. Er lehrt und forscht an der Université de Fribourg in der Schweiz zur Massenbilanz von Gletschern und Eisschilden. Seine Forschung ist für das Monitoring der globalen Eisressourcen bedeutsam, ebenso wie für das Verständnis der geophysikalischen Prozesse in Eisschilden und Gletschern. Das grönländische Eisschild ist einer seiner Schwerpunkte.Credits:Trump: „One way or another“: NBCNews, 4.

A Chinese ‘super embassy' could be built in the heart of London – and intelligence experts say it would open the door to cyber interference at the heart of Britain's financial system. Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler sits down with security expert Nigel Inkster, former director of operations and intelligence MI6 and senior advisor at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, to ask if Britain is turning a blind eye to the growing threat from Beijing?

Why do some people experience same-sex attraction—and how should faithful Christians respond? In this episode of the Dr. J Show, clinical sexologist Floyd Godfrey draws on decades of experience counseling clients who experience same-sex attraction and want to live lives of chastity and integrity.   Dr. Godfrey discusses how trauma, emotional wounds, and unmet developmental needs can shape sexual desires. He explains the difference between a person's feelings and their identity, and how healing involves both psychological insight and spiritual maturity. Rather than pushing an agenda, he walks us through how real change happens—with honesty, accountability, and deep human connection.   This conversation pushes back on the cultural narrative that says "once gay, always gay," and raises serious questions about efforts to ban talk therapy for those who seek it. If you're a parent, pastor, counselor, or simply someone concerned about the truth and the well-being of others, you won't want to miss this important episode.   Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/   Have a question or a comment?

One of the most persistent myths promoted by LGBT advocates is that sexual orientation is fixed and cannot change. Research and clinical experience suggest otherwise.   In this episode of The Dr. J Show, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse interviews Dr. Floyd Godfrey, a clinical sexologist and Christian counselor with decades of experience helping individuals overcome pornography addiction, unwanted same-sex attraction, and sexualized attachments. Dr. Godfrey explains how many of these issues stem from emotional wounds and disrupted attachment patterns—conditions that are treatable through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.   The discussion explores the concept of sex addiction as an intimacy attachment disorder, the development of the arousal template, and the role that trauma and early relational dynamics play in shaping sexual behaviors. It also contrasts mainstream therapeutic approaches with those rooted in a biblical worldview, showing that faith and science are not at odds when it comes to human sexuality.   Dr. Floyd Godfrey is a seasoned Mental Health Consultant, Speaker, and Educator with over two decades of clinical experience. He offers consulting services to individuals, families, and professionals, addressing complex issues related to mental health and human sexuality. Dr. Godfrey holds credentials as a Clinical Sexologist, Certified Sex Addiction Specialist Supervisor, Certified Christian Counselor, and Certified Mental Health Coach. His educational background includes degrees from Arizona State University, Ottawa University, and the International Institute for Clinical Sexology. Early in his career, he worked at Tempe Social Services with children and facilitated after-school programming, which deepened his understanding of family dynamics and child development. Building on this experience, Dr. Godfrey dedicated over 20 years to developing comprehensive sexual addiction programming for various populations, including adults, couples, young adults, and adolescents. His approach integrates a biblical worldview, blending academic rigor with practical expertise to create impactful interventions for mental health and human sexuality concerns.   Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/   Have a question or a comment?

Episode Summary: As our world becomes more digital, the work of probation and parole professionals becomes more complex. In this episode, Joseph Arvidson welcomes Professor K. Jaishankar, the globally recognized founder of Cyber Criminology, to explore what justice supervision looks like in an era of cybercrime, digital victimization, and technological surveillance. Professor Jaishankar, Principal Director of the International Institute of Justice & Police Sciences (India), offers powerful insights into his groundbreaking Space Transition Theory, the psychology of cyber-offending, and how justice systems worldwide can better adapt to the challenges—and possibilities—of the digital age. Together, they explore the intersections of: Cybercrime and community supervision Victim protection in a virtual world The role of Therapeutic, Theological, and Political Victimology in behavior change The surprising relevance of Microbial Criminology in probation and public health Global practices that can inform U.S.-based supervision strategies Balancing technology with human connection in a justice system built on relationships Whether you're a front-line officer, trainer, or policy maker, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about the clients you serve—and the future of justice itself. Guest Bio: Professor K. Jaishankar is a world-renowned criminologist and founder of several sub-disciplines, including Cyber Criminology, Cyber Victimology, Therapeutic Criminology, and Microbial Criminology. Based in India, he is a prolific scholar, international speaker, and advocate for modernizing justice systems in response to technological and societal change.

All the colours of the rainbow, plus oneResearchers have fired lasers directly into the eye to stimulate photoreceptors, and produce the perception of a colour that does not exist in nature. They describe it as a “supersaturated teal,” and hope the technique will allow them to better understand colour vision and perhaps lead to treatments for vision problems. Austin Roorda has been developing this technology using mirrors, lasers and optical devices. He is a professor of Optometry and Vision Science at University of California, Berkeley. The study was published in the journal Science Advances.Following in the footsteps of an ancient ankylosaurPaleontologists have found fossil footprints of an armoured dinosaur in the Canadian Rockies that fill in a critical gap in the fossil record. The footprints belonged to a club-tailed ankylosaur about five to six metres long, and are the first evidence of this type of dinosaur living in North America in a period known as the middle Cretaceous. The research was led by Victoria Arbour, curator of paleontology at the Royal B.C. Museum, and published in the journal Vertebrate Paleontology.Did the Neanderthals die from sunburn?Neanderthals disappeared 40,000 years ago, and new research suggests this corresponds to a period of weakness in the Earth's magnetic field that allowed an increase in the solar radiation reaching the surface. Researchers think they have evidence that modern humans were able to protect themselves from the sun better than Neanderthals could, and this might have contributed to the Neanderthal extinction. Raven Garvey is an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. Her team's research was published in the journal Science. Cloudy with a chance of ammonia mushballsNew observations and models of activity within Jupiter's stormy atmosphere is giving a weather report for the giant planet, and it's pretty extreme. Most interestingly, researchers predict conditions that could lead to violent lightning storms producing softball sized frozen ammonia “mushballs” that would rain through the upper atmosphere. The research was led by Chris Moeckel, a planetary scientist and aerospace engineer at the University of California-Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, and was published in the journal Science Advances.Shattering heat records: climate change is turning out to be worse than expectedIn the last few years, we've seen global temperatures rising faster, with more extreme localized heatwaves, than climate models predicted. Climate scientists are trying to understand this by investigating the underlying factors behind these heating trends. Richard Allan, from the University of Reading in the U.K., was expecting a larger than normal rise in global temperatures due to natural fluctuations, but global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 were much higher than expected. Their recent study in the journal Environmental Research Letters found a growing imbalance in the earth's heat system, with increasingly more heat coming in than leaving, in large part due to changes we've seen in global cloud cover.This global heating is not happening evenly around the world. Kai Kornhuber, from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and Columbia Climate School in New York, found regional hotspots that are experiencing unexpected extreme heat, likely due to a combination of factors. That study is in the journal PNAS. 

In this episode of Mission Brief, Sergeant First Class in the reserves D sits down with Shani farhi (lourie), Head of pedagogy section in the International Institute for Holocaust Educationto talk about “Netzer Aharon”- The holocaust survivors who were the last descendants of their family. They fought for the establishment of the state of Israel.These were men and women who emerged from the horrors of the Holocaust and went on to fight for the survival of a newly established Jewish state. Their stories are not only a testament to survival, but to the power of rebuilding, defending, and believing in something greater.When they died, they had no family to remember them. Now they're remembered by the nation, and we have to make sure their stories are heard.To learn more about the last descendants, read their stories and light a memorial candle, visit this link: https://www.izkor.gov.il/en/b9b30e34960ba665bc7e5ab4401422cf/life-storiesMay their memory be a blessing.

What if the most “settled science” around abortion was built on sand? In this stirring episode of The Dr. J Show, world-renowned psychologist Dr. Priscilla Coleman exposes the deep flaws behind the much-lauded “Turnaway Study” and shares decades of suppressed research on the psychological toll of abortion. “At least 30% of women come out of that room... and they're changed. Sometimes to the point of suicide,” she says. It's a truth our culture refuses to face—but the data, and the stories, are undeniable. Dr. Coleman and Dr. Morse don't just speak from data—they speak from the heart. “It wasn't until I went back to the Catholic Church and went to confession that the night terrors finally stopped,” Dr. Morse shares in a rare moment of personal testimony. We cannot love women by lying to them. Watch this powerful conversation and discover how the International Institute for Reproductive Loss is arming counselors, lawyers, and pregnancy centers with scientific truth because “science is finally supporting what the Church has always taught.” Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/ Watch Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ukkz7sKYI4 Have a question or a comment?

President Trump is reportedly considering abandoning America's longstanding role commanding NATO forces as Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), changing the U.S. combatant command structure, and canceling modernization plans for U.S. Forces Japan. While it's true that Europe needs to step up to the plate on its own defense needs, abandoning the SACEUR position would place U.S. troops under foreign command, give Washington less leverage over our allies, and weaken deterrence. How can Trump better advance his goal of boosting European defense spending? And where can the Defense Department make cuts that bolster deterrence? Kori Schake is a senior fellow and the director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Before joining AEI, Kori was the deputy director-general of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London; a professor at West Point, University of Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University; and worked in the State Department, National Security Council, and Department of Defense. She is the author of Safe Passage: The Transition from British to American Hegemony, and a contributing writer at the Atlantic, War on the Rocks, and Bloomberg. Her upcoming book is The State and the Soldier: The History of Civil Military Relations in America.Read the transcript here. Subscribe to our Substack here.
