The IDF is ramping up its offensive inside the Gaza Strip against Hamas. Leaders of the terror organization are being steadily eliminated and the vaunted Golani Brigade is massing along Israel's border with the Strip. Gazans are fleeing southward as Israel's tanks maneuver along parts of the Netzarim corridor.  Israel's Minister of Defense has called for the return of all our hostages and the expulsion of Hamas. Prime Minister Netanyahu has announced that all future negotiations will be carried out "under fire."  In this episode of the show, together with my colleague Yaakov Lappin, I break down what you need to know about the current state of Israel's return to major combat operations inside the Gaza Strip. Support the showThe MirYam Institute.

THE KOREAN WAR PROJECT NEEDS OUR HELP Hal and Ted Barker have been administrators of the www.koreanwar.org website since January of 1994. They began their quest for information in the late 70s when looking for more information about the Silver Star awarded to their father, Major Edward Lee Barker.

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine's Southern Kherson region is being described by the UN as a 'catastrophe'. At this stage there's no conclusive evidence to confirm how the dam was breached or who was behind it - but Russia and Ukraine are laying the blame squarely on each other. SBS's Janice Petersen has been speaking with Retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan for his analysis of the situation.

It's been just about one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many books, including The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War (Simon & Schuster, 2020), offers analysis of where things stand militarily.

At the outbreak of the Irish Civil War in June 1922 the anti-Treaty IRA numbered some 15,000, holding key positions in Dublin and throughout the country, in particular behind a defensive line running from Limerick to Waterford (the so-called ‘Munster Republic'). Their pro-Treaty opponents in the newly-formed National Army numbered less than half that. Why then did the pro-Treaty side win? To address this and related questions join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with Bill Kissane, John Dorney, Mary McAuliffe and Gareth Prendergast.

COL John Antal (USA, Ret.) is a lifelong student of leadership and the art of war. His purpose in life is “to develop leaders and inspire service.” Today, he is an Amazon best-selling author, a defense analyst, a military correspondent, and a galvanic speaker. John has appeared on radio, podcast, and television shows and is the author of 16 books and hundreds of magazine articles on military and leadership subjects. His latest books are Leadership Rising (July 2021); and 7 Seconds to Die, A Military Analysis of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War and the Future of Warfighting (February 2022). In the past year, based on his in-depth study of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War and the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, COL Antal has made over 108 presentations on the “changing methods of warfare” to U.S. military and national security leaders. He offers these presentations to the U.S. military at no charge and as a “Soldier for Life.” His previous The Convergence podcast — Top Attack: Lessons Learned from the 2nd Nagorno-Karabakh War — and its associated blog post remain Army Mad Scientist’s “best-selling” listens and reads to date! In today’s podcast, COL Antal returns to discuss the challenges facing our Army in executing continuous and uninterrupted mission command in the contemporary battlespace, ensuring command post survivability, and achieving the Joint Force’s requirement for an All Domain Common Operational Picture. The following bullet points highlight key insights from our interview: Modern conflict is increasingly transparent; it is impossible to hide on the battlefield. Consequently, it is imperative that the Army adopt and practice “masking” — a full spectrum, multi-domain effort to deceive enemy sensors and disrupt targeting. Our Joint Force must obscure its optical, thermal, electronic, acoustic, and quantum signatures — or die! Today’s centralized command posts are incredibly vulnerable to enemy fire, while “Command Posts-in-Sanctuary” — those out of reach of adversary strikes — are limited by communications capabilities. To find an appropriate middle ground, we should adopt decentralized, mobile command posts that can support command and control and mask their locations and communications. It is unlikely that the United States will initiate the first stri

In this special episode of Sounds Strategic to mark the opening of the IISS–Europe office in Berlin, we meet key members of our new European research team. From great-power competition to state-led influence operations, and arms control to emerging and disruptive technologies, they explain how the IISS will bring a unique perspective to the European strategic debate. Joining host Meia Nouwens to discuss the strategic questions that the Institute's new European research agenda seeks to address are: Dr Ben Schreer, Executive Director, IISS–Europe; William Alberque, Director of Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Policy; Dr Simona Soare, Research Fellow for Defence and Military Analysis; and Thornike Gordadze, Senior Fellow for Statecraft and Influence Networks. As Ben explains, with IISS–Europe now fully open for business, the Institute is uniquely placed to facilitate a debate on key strategic questions in Germany and Europe as a whole, and between policymakers and industry alike. William, Simona and Thornike each explain the research themes that will dominate their work in the coming months, including arms control and non-proliferation initiatives, great-power competition, setting rules and norms for outer space and the cyber domain, the uses and challenges of emerging and disruptive technologies, and the changing, multidimensional influence operations of revisionist states. _________________________________________________________________ We hope you enjoy listening to the episode.

In this episode, Sounds Strategic host Meia Nouwens is joined by John Krzyzaniak, Research Analyst for Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Policy, and Timothy Wright, Research Analyst and Programme Administrator for Defence and Military Analysis, to discuss Iran, its missile-development programme and the JCPOA. With a new, Democrat-led administration in power, is the United States in a better position to make progress on the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and negotiations with Iran? Meia, John and Timothy discuss where the JCPOA stands now, the impact of domestic politics in both Iran and the US on bilateral negotiations, and how far the Biden administration is willing to go to revive the agreement. Meia, John and Tim also consider the status of Iran's missile-development programme and the strategies that are driving Tehran's investment in it. While noting that missiles are likely to be an ongoing focus for any negotiations between the US and Iran in the future, they argue that it is unrealistic to expect Iran to restrict its missile programme.

In this episode, podcast host Meia Nouwens is joined by Tom Waldwyn, Research Associate for Defence Procurement, and Haena Jo, Research Analyst for Defence and Military Analysis, to discuss the increasingly diversified landscape of defence industry and defence procurement. With successive governments in Turkey, South Korea, Brazil and Poland having invested heavily in their defence industries in recent years, could these countries soon provide greater competition for Western and Russian defence companies? While the big defence companies are still at the top of the pecking order, Tom and Haena explain that today's defence-industrial landscape is more diversified. Meia, Tom and Haena also discuss the export successes of other emerging defence-industrial nations, as well as the challenges they are facing. Drawing in particular on examples from Turkey, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, they highlight the importance of politics and political will in driving defence-industrial growth, and they note the different approaches that emerging defence-industrial countries have taken to get where they are today.We hope you enjoy listening to the episode.

On this episode of the DefAero Report Daily Podcast, sponsored by Bell, our guest in segment one is Byron Callan of the independent equity research firm Capital Alpha Partners discusses what to watch and take note of over the coming week in DC and across the national and international security landscape. In segment two, International Institute for Strategic Studies'  James Hackett, Senior Fellow for Defence and Military Analysis, and editor of The Military Balance discusses this year's annual assessment of military capabilities and economics.

In this episode of Sounds Strategic, Meia Nouwens is joined by Fenella McGerty, Senior Fellow for Defence Economics, and Henry Boyd, Research Fellow for Defence and Military Analysis, to discuss the global defence developments identified in the latest edition of The Military Balance. To mark the publication of The Military Balance 2021, launching today (25 February 2021), Meia, Fenella and Henry discuss recent developments in defence policy, military capability and defence economics. Highlighting the implications of the coronavirus pandemic and the landmark 2020 election in the United States for defence policymakers and industry, Fenella and Henry explore the current trajectory of global and regional defence spending, including in the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Europe, and broader defence developments. Despite wider economic difficulties caused by the pandemic, the stronger growth in global defence spending that was achieved in 2019 was maintained in 2020, they explain. Meia, Fenella and Henry also discuss China's investment in R&D, the challenges of calculating Chinese defence spending, and the role of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The Military Balance is the Institute's annual assessment of global military capabilities and defence economics. The 2021 edition includes updated data on the military organisations, equipment inventories and defence budgets of 171 countries; region-by-region analysis of major developments affecting defence policy, procurement and defence economics; and assessment of key trends in the land, sea and air domains, as well as in cyberspace.

In this episode, Meia Nouwens is joined by Dr Euan Graham, Shangri-La Dialogue Senior Fellow for Asia-Pacific Security, and Joseph Dempsey, Research Associate for Defence and Military Analysis, to examine recent developments on the Korean Peninsula, including the current state of the relationships between the two Koreas and the United States, as well as other countries in the region. In this episode, Meia, Euan and Joseph discuss the tumultuous relationships between the US and the two Koreas under former president Donald Trump, as well as how these relationships might evolve as President Joe Biden settles into the White House. The US−South Korea relationship is ‘badly in need of repair', explains Euan, highlighting that there is a serious risk of strategic divergence in national-security interests between the two countries. The panel also explores the challenges facing Moon Jae-in's presidency in its remaining years, noting that balancing relations with the US and regional neighbours will require a coherent national strategy. Joseph gives an overview of recent developments in North Korea's submarine-launched ballistic-missile programme, explaining why Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions are worrying. The panel also considers the fragile state of the North Korean economy and the impact of COVID-19 on the country, how China views recent developments on the Korean Peninsula, and what to watch out for in 2021.Date of recording: 3 February 2021 Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.

The voice of the people will soon be heard. The power of the vote will decide America’s fate⏤surely in the short term. Many would argue that it could be a death sentence for freedom in the long term⏤if the majority of Americans choose a socialist path forward that is. Today, on this special Viewpoint This Sunday, as we prepare to celebrate our 3 year anniversary for Viewpoint at America Out Loud⏤we will start with a most interesting panel of ‘we the people’ so that we might get a sense in how people are feeling right at this very moment in time. The fight for America is real⏤and so is our distinguished panel of voices that will share with us their thoughts on this historical political race. Ken Jones is a retired physician from Oklahoma area who follows Trump and national politics very closely. Sky is a legal immigrant from Iran. She's all about the constitution and the American Dream and lives in the suburbs of San Francisco. Ed Monette out of Southern, NH is a business consultant and a registered Independent.

Your voice for the fight forward – Malcolm. The Fight for America is front and center in the 2020 election. Many would argue it’s a battle of capitalism and liberty vs. socialism and marxism. Why is part of America infatuated with a socialist ideology? The bigger question is, how many in America find this way of life of value to their own personal lives. The battle for the 'Soul of the Nation’ is not just a campaign theme⏤even though the Biden campaign is suggesting as such. Joe Biden and the far left movement are trying their damndest to change that soul of America into something none of us will be able to recognize⏤unless you grew up in the Soviet Union, North Korea or Venezuela that is. Do these people who wish to change America, love America? Perhaps their version of Amerika is more soothing to their evil side?! Actor Director Scott Baio loves America and is ready to defend it. Scott talks about our children, our families and the real dangers of socialism and how this would destroy all that we value. An incredibly interesting exchange with Malcolm on the importance of the Trump Presidency, and the entertainment and media crisis we face as a nation. Russian Disinformation and Joe Biden | The same people who brought you the Russiagate hoax are trying to cover their crimes by saying that revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption are the product of Russian disinformation. The fraud in the entire process itself - the power of media manipulation and social media censoring, and rogue intelligence agency operatives - they seem to work together in unison to get the desired outcome. Bill Binney is a voice that needs to be heard - out loud style. William Binney was the former technical director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis and Reporting section of the National Security Agency (NSA), where he worked for 30 years.

Your voice for the fight forward – Malcolm. The Fight for America is front and center in the 2020 election. Many would argue it’s a battle of capitalism and liberty vs. socialism and marxism. Why is part of America infatuated with a socialist ideology? The bigger question is, how many in America find this way of life of value to their own personal lives. The battle for the 'Soul of the Nation’ is not just a campaign theme⏤even though the Biden campaign is suggesting as such. Joe Biden and the far left movement are trying their damndest to change that soul of America into something none of us will be able to recognize⏤unless you grew up in the Soviet Union, North Korea or Venezuela that is. Do these people who wish to change America, love America? Perhaps their version of Amerika is more soothing to their evil side?! Actor Director Scott Baio loves America and is ready to defend it. Scott talks about our children, our families and the real dangers of socialism and how this would destroy all that we value. An incredibly interesting exchange with Malcolm on the importance of the Trump Presidency, and the entertainment and media crisis we face as a nation. Russian Disinformation and Joe Biden | The same people who brought you the Russiagate hoax are trying to cover their crimes by saying that revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption are the product of Russian disinformation. The fraud in the entire process itself - the power of media manipulation and social media censoring, and rogue intelligence agency operatives - they seem to work together in unison to get the desired outcome. Bill Binney is a voice that needs to be heard - out loud style. William Binney was the former technical director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis and Reporting section of the National Security Agency (NSA), where he worked for 30 years. Join us for Hour 2 with a new episode of VIEWPOINT PRESENTS. The Final 48 Hours, Democrat Wins Would Erode Balance of Power, The Case for Trump - With a mere 48 hours before the 2020 general election, Episode 15 of Viewpoint Presents with Malcolm and Michael Johns returns for a vital pre-election discussion of the Trump and Biden campaigns' respective schedules for the campaign's final days and the respective messaging of each candidate.

Join us this [b]Saturday, August 1st at 1:00 p.m. EDT[/b] for a symposium on “How to Stop the Ongoing Coup Against the Constitution and the Presidency”. William Binney, former Technical Director of the World Geopolitical and Military Analysis and Reporting section of the National Security Agency (NSA); Roger Stone, political consultant persecuted for his role in the successful election of President Donald Trump in 2016, whose sentence was commuted by President Trump; LaRouchePAC researcher Barbara Boyd, author of “Robert Mueller Is an Amoral Legal Assassin”; and Harley Schlanger, LaRouchePAC political analyst on the “Morning Briefing with Harley Schlanger,” will join forces to thoroughly document what American media outlets will not dare tell the American people: Why exposing the hoax of “Russian computer hacking of the Democratic Party in 2016’s election,” a hoax presently kept in place by Democrats and Republicans alike, is the only sure way to prevent the United States from stumbling blindly into anarchy at home and war internationally.

James Hackett, Senior Fellow for Defence and Military Analysis, and Tom Waldwyn, Research Associate for Defence and Military Analysis, join Meia and Antonio for this episode to discuss the key trends in defence procurement and capabilities identified in the latest edition of The Military Balance, the Institute's annual assessment of global military capabilities and defence economics. In recent years, China's military shipbuilding output has consistently dwarfed that of other countries. Tom and James explain why China requires such an extensive military modernisation programme and identify the practical limitations these new Chinese capabilities may face.James also discusses the re-emergence of peer-to-peer and near-peer competition among the advanced militaries of the US, China and Russia, and what this means for modern international relations.Tom and James also explore the processes and challenges of open-source investigations, how they became interested in military analysis and their reading recommendations for other aspiring military and defence analysts.Reading Recommendations:Michael Howard, The First World War, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2002)Bruce Pascoe, Dark Emu: Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident?, (Victoria: Magabala, 2014)Orr Kelly, King of the Killing Zone: The Story of the M-1, America's Super Tank, (New Tork: W.W.

We hear the terms “Cyber 9-11” and “Digital Pearl Harbor” but what do policy makers actually do the day after a crisis? The Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge is an annual cyber policy competition for students to compete in developing national security policy recommendations, tackling a fictional cyber incident. We had the chance to speak to Chelsey Slack, Deputy Head of the Cyber Defence Unit at NATO. And as the global security environment is changing at a fast pace, actors need to move from spending too much time reacting to more proactively identifying the emerging security issues that may affect them. We spoke to Dr Wendy Schulz, who is the Director at Infinite Futures on issues surrounding international security policy also Dr Bastian Geigrich Director of Defence and Military Analysis at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

In this special episode, Kori Schake, Deputy Director-General of the IISS, leads a panel of experts to reflect on the major themes of the debate at the IISS Manama Dialogue 2019.Opening the discussion is John Raine, Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence, who addresses the changes to the political geography of the Middle East already underway and what they mean for the myriad of internationalised challenges the region is currently facing.Hasan Alhasan, IISS Associate Fellow, notes the deepening geo-economic relationship between the Gulf and Asia, and especially China and India. One challenge Hasan foresees is how Gulf states will effectively convert these burgeoning economic relationships into greater diplomatic and security support from Asian countries. Senior Fellow for Middle East Security, Emile Hokayem, stresses the need to avoid complacency at a time of intense instability in the region. For Emile, battlefield dynamics continue to determine outcomes far more than political processes. Until the various geopolitical competitions being played out across the Middle East are resolved, Emile predicts instability will likely continue. Finally, Bastian Giegerich, IISS Director of Defence and Military Analysis, voices his concerns over NATO as it struggles with a series of internal challenges that have limited its ability to reassure its partners in the Middle East and to present a unified front against pressing regional concerns.Date of recording: 24 November 2019This episode was recorded at the IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Amanda Lapo, Research Analyst for Defence and Military Analysis, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.The political and economic crisis in Venezuela has caused a humanitarian emergency, with millions leaving the country. Amanda and Kori discuss the internal and international dynamics that have enabled the Maduro regime to survive despite US sanctions, huge public protests and economic collapse. In the episode, Amanda assesses Russia's support for the Maduro regime to date and the wider impact recent military agreements between Russia and Venezuela may have on regional security. Kori and Amanda also discuss how the Maduro regime has ensured the loyalty of the Venezuelan military through economic incentives and Cuban assistance. Amanda reinforces the extent Maduro insiders have been disconnected from regular Venezuelan citizens and warns external intervention would likely only exacerbate such differences.

Henry Boyd, IISS Research Fellow for Defence and Military Analysis, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic. In this episode, Kori and Henry explore the military dimensions of the new great power competition emerging between a declining United States, a resurgent Russia and a rising China and their implications for international security and defence. They also discuss the impact Russian intervention in Syria has had on contemporary concepts of the legitimate use of force and the ethics of modern warfare. Henry goes on to explain why assessing the military capabilities of countries such as the United States and China requires more than a simple measure of their military hardware. Instead, additional factors must be considered, such as organisation, doctrine and training. Henry also talks about how he first became interested in the subject of defence and security, the virtues of wargaming, and the role human rationale and psychology plays in how we understand modern international affairs, war and policy.
