Talking points: culture, geopolitics This interview is probably among the most unique I've had on the show. I don't usually cover straight-up politics, but Andrew's work has fascinated me for a while. And as the world seems to getting more up in arms (literally and figuratively), I find myself wanting to learn more about where all of this started and how we as men can respond. (00:00:00) - Common misconceptions about the CIA (00:11:47) - Why foreign secrets are such a big deal (00:24:51) - Andrew's perspective on current global unrest, Iran, and just how complex it is (00:38:31) - What's difficult to understand about geopolitics, and why there seems to be so much conflict (00:48:19) - Is there any form of governance that truly permits any freedom, and where the balance could lie (00:57:47) - The perspective shift that changed Andrew's life (01:08:51) - Andrew's take on what's going to happen next with Ukraine, Russian, and Iran (01:16:33) - Is US global supremacy in jeopardy? If it is, what does that mean for the average citizen? Andrew Bustamante is a former covert CIA intelligence officer, decorated military combat veteran, successful Fortune 10 corporate advisor, proud husband and father.

Jerome Drevon is a Senior Analyst in Jihad and Modern Conflict at the International Crisis Group, where he undertakes research and analysis on Islamist militancy across regions. In episode 41 of Tahrir Podcast, we discussed his most recent book, “From Jihad to Politics: How Syrian Jihadis Embraced Politics,” (Oxford University Press 2024) which looks at why and how jihadis were able to take over the Syrian armed opposition, as well as why these very groups ultimately rejected domination by al-Qaeda (AQ) and the Islamic State (IS) and embraced a different action plan. The book builds on years of impressive field research, including multiple trips to northwest Syria, and interviews with the main leaders of the armed opposition, especially Ahrar al-Sham and Jabhat al-Nusra/Nusra Front–now called Hayatt Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), including an interview with Abu Muhammad al-Jolani.

FBI Director Christopher Wray, while speaking at the Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats in Nashville, Tennessee, in April, warned that U.S. critical infrastructure is a prime target of the Chinese government. “The fact is, the PRC's [People's Republic of China's] targeting of our critical infrastructure is both broad and unrelenting,” he said. Wray also noted that the immense size and expanding nature of the Chinese Communist Party's hacking program isn't just aimed at stealing American intellectual property. “It's using that mass, those numbers, to give itself the ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing,” he said. Wray noted that during the FBI's recent Volt Typhoon investigation, the Bureau found that the Chinese government had gained illicit access to networks within America's “critical telecommunications, energy, water, and other infrastructure sectors.” Some cybersecurity experts have likened this activity to an act of war, although NATO hasn't defined it as such just yet. In any case, it is a serious threat to national security. “In this country, critical infrastructure is operated by the private sector, most of which are publicly traded companies,” said Alex Santos, CEO of Fortress Information Security, a company that specializes in cyber supply chain security for organizations that operate critical infrastructure including utilities and government agencies. Santos was speaking as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “Somehow, the private sector has taken on the responsibility to defend these acts of war, which I was always taught is the responsibility of the government,” he said. “I think what's really the point here is that the government is asking us to do more. We're being attacked more by the adversaries. Regulations are coming in. It's becoming more and more complicated with technology change. And, our budgets are being cut,” said Santos. Thus, while Wray can be commended for pointing out the national security problem Chinese hackers present to critical infrastructure, his words fall flat if the government doesn't put its money where its mouth is, Santos suggested. That's not to say money isn't being spent by the U.S. government. “The government is spending a lot on cybersecurity to help companies, but it's going to research and universities,” Santos said. “How many research studies do we need to tell us that cybersecurity is a problem? How many research studies do we need to tell us that we don't have enough cybersecurity workers? How much research do we need to give us 10 recommendations for how to increase the capability of our cybersecurity workforce? At some point, we need to actually do the work.” Santos suggested money could be better spent helping companies repair vulnerabilities or by getting small businesses to install basic security precautions like endpoint protection and network monitoring. “Does the government study how to build a tank or do they build tanks?” Santos asked rhetorically. “The government builds tanks and they buy bullets,” he answered. “So, think of it that way. We need to buy more tanks and bullets, and less research studies on which tanks, how many tanks, what kind of tanks—tanks with wheels, tanks with tracks—you know, let's buy some tanks,” he said.

This episode reports on the presentation by Christopher Ray, Director of the FBI  Fox News' Greg Norman and Reuters contributed to this report.   Chinese hackers preparing to ‘physically wreak havoc' on US critical infrastructure: FBI director   FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the hackers want to 'induce panic' Chinese hackers are developing the "ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing," FBI director Christopher Wray said this week. He added that the hackers are waiting "for just the right moment to deal a devastating blow." The hacking campaign, known as Volt Typhoon, has embedded itself successfully in several American critical infrastructure companies that include telecommunications, energy and water, and others, he said.  FBI DIRECTOR SAYS CHINA IS THE ‘DEFINING THREAT OF OUR GENERATION' "Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic," Wray said Thursday at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats.  Microsoft and Google security experts have previously linked the hackers to China and Wray said the effort is connected to U.S.-Chinese tensions around Taiwan.  Wray gave a similar warning to lawmakers on Capitol Hill in February, saying Chinese hackers are intending to "wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities."  Wray and other government officials were testifying in front of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party for a hearing titled "The Chinese Community Party Cyber Threat to the American Homeland and National Security." "There has been far too little public focus on the fact that PRC [People's Republic of China] hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure – our water treatment plants, our electrical grid, our oil and natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems. And the risk that poses to every American requires our attention now," Wray told lawmakers at the time.  Wray also said that "today, and literally every day" Chinese hackers are "actively attacking our economic security, engaging in wholesale theft of our innovation, and our personal and corporate data."   "And they don't just hit our security and economy. They target our freedoms, reaching inside our borders, across America, to silence, coerce, and threaten our citizens and residents," Wray testified.   Fox News' Greg Norman and Reuters contributed to this report.   

This week on Hold Your Fire! Richard talks with Crisis Group experts Jerome Drevon, Ibraheem Bahiss and Olga Oliker about the attack on Crocus City Hall in a Moscow suburb claimed by the Islamic State (ISIS), how the group and its affiliates have evolved in recent years and the potential implications of the strike for Russian politics and the war in Ukraine. Richard first talks with Jerome and Ibraheem about what we know about the attack and the involvement of ISIS and the group's affiliate in Afghanistan, Islamic State-Khorasan Province (IS-KP). They discuss how ISIS's structure has evolved after losing its territory in Iraq and Syria and how much of a global threat it and its affiliates now pose. They also discuss the Taliban's fight against IS-KP and its relations with outside powers worried about threats emanating from Afghanistan. Richard then talks with Olga about the attacks' implications for Russia, Moscow's attempts to link responsibility to Kyiv and what that might mean for the war in Ukraine.For more in-depth analysis of topics discussed in this episode, check out our recent Q&A ISIS Strikes Moscow, our 2016 report Exploiting Disorder: al-Qaeda and the Islamic State and our Jihad in Modern Conflict page.

On 3 February, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that American special forces had killed the leader of the Islamic State (ISIS), Abdullah Qardash, in a house where he was hiding out in Idlib province, in north west Syria. Idlib is held by another militant group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former al-Qaeda affiliate and supposedly a sworn enemy of ISIS. Qardash's killing came just after ISIS's largest attack in the country for years on a prison holding many ISIS prisoners in the north east, and a two-week long pitched battle between ISIS and the mostly Kurdish forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), that control that area. Other ISIS attacks over recent years in the north east and the desert in central Syria suggest that despite having lost the territory it controlled for some years, ISIS remains a resilient insurgency. Moreover, its enemies are largely antagonistic toward each other and new fighting among them could open more space for jihadists. This week on Hold Your Fire! Richard Atwood talks to Crisis Group experts Dareen Khalifa, Senior Analyst on Syria, and Jerome Drevon, Senior Analyst on Jihad and Modern Conflict, about ISIS in Syria, its global footprint and the evolution of HTS. They assess the strength of ISIS, the nature of its insurgency and Qardash's role before his death. They look at links between ISIS in Syria and affiliates in other parts of the world, notably Africa, where more local militants now fight under ISIS's banner. They talk about the challenges faced by the largely Kurdish SDF, which leads the ISIS fight in the north east, their relations with Arabs in areas they control, their enmity with Turkey and their reliance on U.S. protection. They also discuss HTS and its rule in Idlib, where Qardash was killed, drawing on frequent visits to that area. They discuss the state of play in Syria more broadly – the U.S.'s presence in the north east, the uneasy ceasefire brokered by Turkey and Russia in the north west and the precarious calm that prevails after years of brutal war.

Three strategy and policy experts from the US Naval War College explore the potential of an American defeat in a conflict with China. In this episode of RUSI Journal Radio, hosts Demi, Emma and Ed are joined by Anand Toprani, Nicholas Murray and Michael Dennis, who co-authored an essay in the RUSI Journal earlier this year on confronting the possibility of defeat. Recorded in February 2022, their conversation covers topics ranging from military wargaming to the resilience of the US political system.

Emile Ghessen currently in Ukraine documenting and reporting from Kiev... much like he has done from Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 Follow him on Instagram and you'll have a better understanding of what's going on in the country at the moment! "I have been in war zones since the age of 18 fighting and now filming them, and this recent war was very different for me. It was a war of David vs Goliath in the sense of the contrast in equipment and technology on the battlefield between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Making this feature film has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, but I'm very proud of “45 Days” capturing history in the making." ~ Emile Ghessen   INSTAGRAM 45 Days: The Fight For A Nation WEB

Prior to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia the world was actively engaged in the public announcement of the developments related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis but not seeking a solution. Furthermore, we see that the major countries in the world appear to be among the strong eating the weak, and as the people of the invaded land call for help, there appears to be no help in site. Join as the speaker sheds light on understanding this modern conflict in light of Surah Ar-Rum.   Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsgAZj1WUds

For 10 years, between 2005 and 2014, the ‘Great Arab Revolt Project' (GARP) investigated the remains of the 1916-1918 Arab Revolt in southern Jordan, from Ma'an to Mudawwara. Expecting initially to survey and excavate the mainly ruinous Hejaz Railway stations for perhaps three years, events soon changed this to a 10-year project. The stations were investigated, but it was the unexpected discovery of conflict landscapes in-between the stations and farther out in the desert that required more investigation and was added to by the discovery of over 100 pre-Revolt construction-era camps built by and for the labour gangs who constructed the railway. Discoveries included defensive earthwork ‘karakolls', stone-built forts, machine-gun positions, Ottoman army campsites, overnight raiding camps for Rolls Royce armoured cars, and even ephemeral Royal Air Force landing grounds. GARP research fleshed out the Revolt in this region, uncovered unsuspected landscapes, and added a new dimension to Jordanian heritage. About the speaker: Nicholas J Saunders is Emeritus Professor of Material Culture in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at Bristol University. His research focuses on the material culture, landscapes and cultural memories of twentieth and twenty-first century conflict in Europe and the Middle East. Fieldwork in France, Belgium, Bosnia, Slovenia and Jordan is supplemented by ongoing research into the material culture of the Chinese Labour Corps on the Western Front. Between 2006 and 2014 he was co-director of the Great Arab Revolt Project (GARP) in southern Jordan – investigating the 1916-1918 Arab Revolt along the Hejaz Railway from Ma'an to Mudawwara – in co-operation with Al Hussein bin Talal University. His publications include: Trench Art: Materialities and Memories of War (2003), Modern Conflict and the Senses (2017), Desert Insurgency: T.E. Lawrence, Archaeology and the Arab Revolt (2020), and Conflict Landscapes (2021). He is co-editor of the Routledge series ‘Material Culture and Modern Conflict'. About the discussant: Bakr Khazer Almajali is a distinguished Jordanian historian. Originally born in Al-Qasr in the Al Karak governorate, he is a graduate of the Royal Military College at Mutah University. He continued his service in the Jordanian Army in prominent roles until 1996, including as Director of the Martyrs' Memorial and the Jordanian Military Museum. He has subsequently worked as a university researcher, consultant and advisor at the Royal Hashemite Court, including on projects to renovate the Historical Museum in Ma'an (‘The Founder' King Abdullah I Palace) and the Martyr's Memorial. He holds a PhD from the University of New Hampshire (USA) for his thesis The Renaissance and Independence Movements in the Arab Mashreq from 1850 AD to 1925 AD. He has published extensively on Islamic and Jordanian history, the Hashemite Royal Family, the Jordanian Arab Army, and the Great Arab Revolt. He has won many prizes and recognition for his scholarly work and achievements, notably for his documentary scripts for radio and television. About the chair: Robert Bewley is Chair of CBRL's Board. He is the Co-founder and former Director of the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa project (from 2015-2020) at the University of Oxford. He is the Director of the Aerial Archaeology in Jordan project and in 2018 was able to set up the Aerial Archaeology in Oman project. Bob received his PhD in Archaeology from the University of Cambridge and was an undergraduate at Manchester University studying Ancient History and Archaeology. He is the author of six books, including Prehistoric Settlements (1994 and 2003), Aerial Archaeology – Developing Future Practice (2002 with W. Raçzkowski) and Ancient Jordan from the Air (2004 with David Kennedy).

The war in the Sahel appears to have reached a stalemate. In Mali, fighting pits the Malian security forces, backed by regional militaries and French special forces and airpower, against an al-Qaeda-linked jihadist coalition, JNIM (the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims). Since Mali's crisis in 2012-2013, efforts to defeat jihadist militants have only seen their influence expand. Violence has spread across the Sahel at terrible human cost. Two successive coups in Bamako, Mali's capital, have fuelled political instability. French officials appear exasperated by the lack of progress. Yet militants themselves are also under pressure, with several leaders killed over recent years. In this episode of Hold Your Fire! Richard Atwood and Naz Modirzadeh are joined by Ibrahim Yahaya Ibrahim, Crisis Group's Sahel expert, to ask whether it is time for a new approach. They take stock of the insurgency's current state, its aims and JNIM's relationship with al-Qaeda. They discuss the future of the French presence and the consequences of the recent coups. They also speak at length about prospects for talks between the government and JNIM leaders, what such talks might entail and the challenges such a path would pose.

Jacob and Laban get into a tiff. But the response is what matters. This chapter gives us a masterclass in putting aside differences for the betterment of those around us.

In this episode of the Warpod we pair with the Project for the Study of the 21st Century to launch an E-IR book entitled Remote Warfare: Interdisciplinary Perspectives. Abigail Watson and Delina Goxho speak to Jen Gibson and Baraa Shiban, from Reprieve, Camilla Molyneux, from the APPG on Drones and Modern Conflict, and Lauren Gould and Jolle Demmers, from Intimacies of Remote Warfare at the University of Utrecht – all of whom contributed a chapter on the different elements of remote warfare. They discuss how conflict has changed and the need put the people in conflict affected countries into the centre of Western policies. Please note the views and opinions expressed during the podcast are those of the contributors featured. They are not the views or opinions of Saferworld.

Today we conclude our podcast with Major Travis Clemens, a Civil Affairs Company Commander, discussing his article about Special Operations Forces and Civil Affairs in Great Power Competition. MAJ Clemens opens with discussing the modern forms of Armed Conflict, such as foreign sponsored insurgencies or the construction of military infrastructure in politically disputed locations. A key theme is how 21st century conflict is often, but not always, defined by asymmetrical clashes between the Great Powers in lieu of conventional conflict. Civil Affairs teams must compete with hostile foreign powers by combating their social, economic and political pressures against the populace in a third country.

On continue notre format passionnant appelé Focus sur les métiers autour de l'image et c'est à Thomas Sauvin de passer derrière notre micro. Né en 1983, Thomas Sauvin a une pratique polymorphe : collectionneur, éditeur, artiste, commissaire d’exposition, « sauveur d’images ».  Après avoir sillonné la Chine pendant plus de dix ans pour l’organisation et éditeur Archive of Modern Conflict basé à Londres, qui a pour mission de collecter et de préserver la photographie, il se lance dans une aventure hors du commun : récolter des négatifs abandonnés dans une zone de recyclage au nord de Pékin et destinés à être détruits. Il réalise l’un des travaux d’archive les plus colossaux et importants en Chine. Thomas va nous parler de ce projet fascinant appelé Beijing Silvermine, de ses différents projets de livres, de son parcours et des multiples fonctions qu'il exerce aujourd’hui. Bonne écoute !

Rares sont celles dont les noms sont parvenus jusqu'à nous, disparaissant du récit de la création au profit des « grands maîtres ».L'effacement des femmes dans l'histoire de la photographie résulte d'une longue tradition de discrédit. Créatrices originales et autonomes, elles n'ont pourtant cessé de documenter, d'interroger et de transfigurer le monde, démontrant que l'appareil photo peut être un fantastique outil d'émancipation. Aucune expérimentation ni aucun fracas des XIXe et XXe siècles ne leur ont ainsi échappé. Pour restituer la diversité des parcours de ces femmes photographes, Luce Lebart et Marie Robert ont invité 162 autrices de différents points du globe à nourrir cet ouvrage manifeste.La recherche dirigée par Marie Robert et Luce Lebart a été réalisée grâce au soutien des Rencontres d'Arles et de Women In Motion, un programme de Kering qui met en lumière la place des femmes dans les arts et la culture.Cet ouvrage bénéficie du soutien du ministère de la Culture, du ministère délégué chargé de l'Égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, de la Diversité et de l'égalité des chances ainsi que de la région Île-de-France.Actualité – Dans le cadre de Femmes photographes – Une histoire de la photographie à réinventer – Une proposition de Fannie Escoulen, commissaire d'exposition indépendante spécialisée en photographie contemporaine.

What can we learn about all the misinformation about Covid-19? Are they mostly incorrect but uncorrelated health tips, or are there specific narratives behind those misinformation that seek to lay groundwork for the post-pandemic public discourse? Are they simply "fake news" spread around by well-meaning citizens, or perpetrated by state actors and organizations?... In this episode, Prof. Jacob Shapiro, Director of the Empirical Studies of Conflict Project, discusses what his team and Microsoft have been learning about all the Covid-19 related fake news on the Internet. Meanwhile, in a recent op-ed titled "Coronavirus: Don't forget about the poor kids," Prof. Shapiro addresses some of the most urgent education policy questions during the pandemic, the debates around fairness of digital learning, and how we need to focus on the real problems in this crisis and look ahead for groundbreaking policy solutions. We also touch on topics from bioterrorism (how unlikely it is to design Covid in a lab) to impacts of the economic shutdown on developing nations (how Pakistan's agricultural harvest will soon suffer). It is a conversation that spans multiple disciplines and dimensions, but all for the purpose of shedding light on some truly brilliant ideas that you probably didn't think of before! Jacob N. Shapiro is Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University and directs the Empirical Studies of Conflict Project, a multi-university consortium that compiles and analyzes micro-level data on politically motivated violence in countries around the world. His research covers conflict, economic development, and security policy. He is author of "The Terrorist’s Dilemma: Managing Violent Covert Organizations" and co-author of "Small Wars, Big Data: The Information Revolution in Modern Conflict." His research has been published in broad range of academic and policy journals as well as a number of edited volumes. He has conducted field research and large-scale policy evaluations in Afghanistan, Colombia, India, and Pakistan.

Can a war ever be "Just"? Is the ancient concept of Just War still important in contemporary conflicts? What the citizens of the republic should know when the nation decides to use military force.

Fundamentally in asymmetric conflicts, the struggle is over information that comes from the [local] population. This is different from the traditional 'hearts and minds' view A BETTER PEACE welcomes Jacob Shapiro from Princeton U., co-author of Small Wars, Big Data: The Information Revolution in Modern Conflict. Conventional wisdom in conflict has been that those combatants bringing greater power, applying it intelligently, and controlling the most territory are more likely to achieve their political outcomes. The asymmetric conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq challenged these conventions and demonstrate that achieve success at a local level is paramount. But then how do strategic leaders roll up hundreds or thousands of local level successes and convert it into political success? WAR ROOM Editor-in-Chief Andrew A. Hill moderates.     Jacob Shapiro is Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. Andrew A. Hill is the WAR ROOM Editor-in-Chief.

The CSIS Transnational Threats Project cordially invites you to a book launch event for Eli Berman, Joseph H. Felter & Jacob N. Shapiro's newly released Small Wars, Big Data: The Information Revolution in Modern Conflict (Princeton University Press).    Moderated bySeth G. Jones Harold Brown Chair Director, Transnational Threats Project Senior Adviser, International Security Program  WithJacob N. Shapiro Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University   The way wars are fought has changed starkly over the past sixty years. International military campaigns used to play out between large armies at central fronts. Today's conflicts find major powers facing rebel insurgencies that deploy elusive methods, from improvised explosives to terrorist attacks. Small Wars, Big Data presents a transformative understanding of these contemporary confrontations and how they should be fought. The authors show that a revolution in the study of conflict--enabled by vast data, rich qualitative evidence, and modern methods—yields new insights into terrorism, civil wars, and foreign interventions. Modern warfare is not about struggles over territory but over people; civilians—and the information they might choose to provide—can turn the tide at critical junctures. The authors draw practical lessons from the past two decades of conflict in locations ranging from Latin America and the Middle East to Central and Southeast Asia. Building an information-centric understanding of insurgencies, the authors examine the relationships between rebels, the government, and civilians. This approach serves as a springboard for exploring other aspects of modern conflict, including the suppression of rebel activity, the role of mobile communications networks, the links between aid and violence, and why conventional military methods might provide short-term success but undermine lasting peace. Ultimately the authors show how the stronger side can almost always win the villages, but why that does not guarantee winning the war.Small Wars, Big Data provides groundbreaking perspectives for how small wars can be better strategized and favorably won to the benefit of the local population.This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.

Wars don't look like what they used to. Using a variety of new data sources from modern war zones, Jacob Shapiro of Princeton University offers transformative insights into the nature of 21st century terrorism, civil wars and development aid.
