Podcasts about National Security Council

It wasn't long ago that both heads of state and prominent policymakers could speak seriously about a world without nuclear weapons. But in the course of just a few years, nuclear concerns have come back in force. Arms control has broken down almost entirely. China has started a massive expansion of its arsenal, putting basic assumptions about deterrence in doubt. Vladimir Putin has threatened nuclear use in Ukraine—threats that were taken very seriously by American officials. And proliferation risks have grown, with regard to both American adversaries like Iran and American allies in Europe and Asia who may no longer trust security commitments from the United States. Vipin Narang and Pranay Vaddi until recently oversaw nuclear policy in the Pentagon and on the National Security Council. In a new essay for Foreign Affairs, they call the situation nothing short of a “Category 5 hurricane.” And for the United States, that means putting nuclear strategy back at the center of foreign policy. Editor-at-large Hugh Eakin spoke with Narang and Vaddi about this changing nuclear landscape and what the United States must do to survive this new nuclear age.

The Washington Roundtable's Susan B. Glasser interviews the Russia expert Fiona Hill about Vladimir Putin's long reign and Trump's dismantling of American institutions. Hill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, previously served in the National Security Council and National Intelligence Council. She gained national attention as a star witness during the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, in 2019. Additionally, Hill, who is also a member of Harvard's Board of Overseers, talks with Glasser about the Trump Administration's war on academic institutions.This week's reading: “Did Trump Really Just Break Up with Putin?” by Susan B.

For all its promise of disruption, Donald Trump's first term as president transformed American foreign policy less than most critics feared and some supporters hoped. Alliances held up, the rules-based order largely endured, and American global leadership appeared resilient. When Joe Biden was elected president in 2020, he could proclaim “America is back” and proceed with a foreign policy that was in many ways quite traditional. But Trump's second term has been different. In just a few months, he has broken with decades of precedent on everything from trade to alliances. And as Rebecca Lissner and Mira Rapp-Hooper argue in a new Foreign Affairs essay, this time there will be no going back. Trump's presidency will fundamentally change American leadership and global order. As senior officials on Biden's National Security Council, Lissner and Rapp-Hooper helped chart the way forward after Trump's first term. They argue that the task now is to understand and, in a few regards, learn from the consequences of Trump's disruption. Contending with the world after Trump will be a tall order. But they also see it as an opportunity: a clean slate on which to write the future of American foreign policy.

For years, U.S. presidents have complained that European governments spend far too little on their militaries, leaving the United States to pick up a disproportionate share of the tab for the transatlantic alliance. But in the past few years, Europe's defense spending has exploded. At the NATO summit last week, U.S. allies committed to spending five percent of GDP on defense. That's far more than the two percent target U.S. policymakers long called for. It's even more than the United States itself spends on defense—the result of both escalating pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump and escalating threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Celeste Wallander, until recently the top defense official overseeing U.S. policy toward Europe and Russia, warns in a new Foreign Affairs essay that this transformation will have more complicated consequences than most Americans expect. A more capable Europe will also mean a more independent Europe, more willing to defy U.S. priorities and make demands for cooperation. Wallander has been a key player in the transatlantic alliance as a top official on the National Security Council and in the Pentagon, including as assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs during the Biden administration. She is now executive director of Penn Washington and an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. The United States, in her view, will have to take a very different approach to the transatlantic alliance—at a time when it's as vital as ever, in Ukraine and beyond.

It's been less than a week since the unprecedented U.S. military strikes against the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities in Iran. Codenamed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” the attack was designed to degrade Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. However, there are conflicting reports about its success. Were the sites destroyed or severely damaged? What is the impact of the attacks on the Iranian nuclear weapon program? What are the implications for the United States and Israel moving forward?On Friday, June 27, SAPIR Institute Director Chanan Weissman was joined by Eyal Hulata, for a timely conversation about what took place in Iran, and what that means for the region now.

Friends,Today Heather and I look at the war in Iran through the lens of Donald Trump's insatiable need to expand and display his power. How can he even consider getting America into this war without consulting Congress? Doesn't doing so also violate his promise to the American people in the 2024 election that he would avoid foreign entanglements? And who is advising him, now that half of the professionals on the National Security Council have been fired and neither Tulsi Gabbard (who's supposed to be the intelligence czar) nor Pete Hegseth (at least formally the secretary of defense) is involved in Trump's decision-making? We'll get to these and other questions.Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, take our poll, and join the discussion. This is a public episode.

Ordered the National Security Council to be on standby upon his return to Washington, D.C. 3. Trump's Stance on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions A lengthy reiteration of Trump’s consistent position: Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

Political and Military Developments 52 Republican senators, led by Senator Ted Cruz, publicly support Trump’s red line on Iran’s nuclear program. Reports from Israeli Channel 14 suggest Trump may soon sign an order to formally join the war. U.S. military movements toward the Middle East are noted, including aircraft carriers and planes. 5.

Congressman Greg Steube discusses the House Intelligence Committee's report revealing the FBI's misrepresentation of the 2017 congressional shooter's motives, initially claimed to be a "suicide by cop" scheme but later found to be driven by far-left extremism. Steube criticizes the FBI for classifying the investigation and hiding evidence. He also highlights a 2021 Biden administration memo lowering the threshold for FBI investigations to include "concerning non-criminal behavior," which he argued infringes on civil liberties. Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona, a prominent voice in Congress advocating for accountability within the federal bureaucracy, shares insights on immigration policies, the potential for self-deportation incentives, and the recent revelations surrounding the FBI's handling of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting. Finally, it's AMAC Wednesday, and Bobby Charles discusses the controversial memo from the National Security Council under President Biden, which allowed federal agencies to target Americans for "concerning non-criminal behavior." Charles criticizes it as a violation of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments.
