Most of the problems we face as feds aren't new and there are tons of orgs out there doing great work we should leverage. Think tanks are one of the main producers of research products we can use - and you should understand what's out there in your area of expertise.

I connected with him via the fantastic organization, #NatSecGirlSquad. (Not gonna lie - was totally fan-girling while recording this interview.

What's the point of low-yield nuclear weapons?  To use them, of course. Elizabeth Warren's plan to end endless war.  How Trump fractured the left by flirting with Korean peace, and why his fake Israel peace plan threatens to do so again.  Chinese imperialism is a thing now.  Also this episode: difficulties of democratizing foreign policy, prediction in international relations, being kind in national security, and...South Korean conscription.Elizabeth Warren on ending endless war: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/elizabeth-warren-we-can-end-our-endless-wars/605497/Maggie Caroliine repping NatSecGirlSquad: https://twitter.com/MaggieCaroline1/status/1219409363623989250Kori Schake on being kind: https://twitter.com/KoriSchake/status/1219441028186419202?s=20Gregg Carlstrom on fake Israeli peace: https://twitter.com/glcarlstrom/status/1222279492183494662?s=20Stephen Wertheim on defense: https://twitter.com/stephenwertheim/status/1222294594735525888?s=20Corey Pein on anti-elite resistance to Trump: https://twitter.com/coreypein/status/1222275041456357377Andrew Facini on tactical nukes: https://thebulletin.org/2020/01/the-low-yield-nuclear-warhead-a-dangerous-weapon-based-on-bad-strategic-thinking/Daniel Larison on Elizabeth Warren: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/campaign-promises-and-ending-wars/ 

In this special episode recorded at the IISS Manama Dialogue 2019, Kori Schake is joined by Tamara Cofman Wittes, Senior Fellow at the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, and Maggie Feldman-Piltch, Founder and Managing Director of #NatSecGirlSquad, for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation.Recent popular protests in Lebanon and Iraq have shaken the Middle East. Such political turmoil suggests a deep level of dissatisfaction with the status quo in these, and many other, countries in the region. In the cases of Iraq and Syria, government mismanagement and corruption have been perpetuated by external interference by either Iran or Russia, or both. For Maggie, Tamara and Kori, such interference has been, in part, enabled by a general retreat from the region by the US that has allowed emerging powers such as Russia, Iran and even China, to flex their soft power credentials. As Maggie and Tamara argue, the rise of these revisionist powers has profound implications not only for regional governments seeking reliable partners, but it also impacts the information that everyday citizens receive and the opinions they form.Both Maggie and Tamara also talk about the vital importance of diversity and inclusivity in the creation of robust and sustainable national security and defence policy. Whether by modernising recruitment practices or empowering aspiring policymakers, all three women stress the need for greater female inclusion and ‘competent diversity' in the field of national security. This episode also includes a discussion on the re-emergence of nationalism in response to Russian and Iranian intervention in the region and the key changes required in US Middle East policy to refocus strategic thinking and reassure its allies. Reading recommendations:‘Inclusion and Diversity', The Brookings Institution (2019) ‘Tehran's strategic intent', Iran's Networks of Influence in the Middle East (London: IISS, 2019) Date of recording: 22 November 2019This episode of Sounds Strategic was recorded at the IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

What does competent diversity look like within the intelligence community?
