Today, we welcome Rocco Santurri, who wrote "Spoils of the Status Quo," an article that describes the current stalemate in Korea as the best option for the international community.   Spoils of the status quo: https://divergentoptions.org/category/writers/rocco-p-santurri-iii/ Other points in the discussion 1-Beginning with the historical and current foundations of KJU's legitimacy as Supreme Leader, how those could be degraded, and which internal groups could exploit that degradation. Given KJU needs the US “threat” to substantiate his narrative to his domestic audience, how de-escalating tensions through de-escalatory IO works against the KJU regime. 2-Expanding bilateral and trilateral relationships, and/or new relationships with NATO countries or the bloc itself to offset increased Russian influence in the region (more of a Eurasian Theatre-outlook, versus EUCOM and PACOM). 3-The rapidly expanding relationship between RUS/DPRK also presents an opening for the US; DPRK is still heavily dependent on China, especially economically, far more than any other country.  China might be receptive to assisting US efforts to remind RUS/DRPK of their standing as lesser powers in the region.   4-The dream of denuclearization might need to die; it is very difficult to imagine a scenario in which KJU would voluntarily agree to any level denuclearization, and even if so, proof of compliance would be problematic. Taking that off the table could advance other foreign policy efforts, many of which it currently inhibits. --- One CA is a product of the civil affairs association  and brings in people who are current or former military, diplomats, development officers, and field agents to discuss their experiences on the ground with a partner nation's people and leadership.

The Navy optometrists are often deployed with surgical teams to provide eye care in forward deployment areas, highlighting the vital role they play in military medicine. Military medicine is not just about combat readiness but also plays a significant role in humanitarian missions and disaster relief, as evidenced by the operations of hospital ships. The role of optometrists extends beyond eye health to leadership roles, including directing the Navy Medical Service Corps and commanding US Naval Hospitals. Global health engagements are an essential aspect of military medicine, fostering alliances and collaborations worldwide, and creating pathways to partnerships where military ties may not exist. Optometrists can help with military readiness by providing quality care with a focus on customer service. Their contribution to Navy medicine is extensive, including training opticians for the Department of Defense. Vision care regulations for aviators have changed over time, allowing for corrective measures for age-related degradation of vision so they can remain active. The Navy Medical Service Corps, comprising a mixture of clinicians and administrators, played a crucial role in rebuilding the corps and protecting and resourcing the hospital ships. The use of hospital ships in the Navy isn't just for combat readiness but also for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions, thus emphasizing the multifaceted role of military medicine. The medical resources planning and policy in the military involve protecting resources like hospital ships, which play a critical role in both combat readiness and humanitarian missions.   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Master Sergeant Marc Arrington USMC (Retired) joins the show to talk about life. Marc is a brilliant mind and stoic in his thoughts and as kind-hearted as they come. Marc was instrumental in helping a veteran in crisis two years ago. He was new to the VFW and heard a pitch I gave to bring aid to an infantryman in need. Not knowing me well, he took a huge chance. But help came in waves after the initial talk. Marc continues to be involved in the VFW and the Veteran community. He is working in real estate with Raider Realty and helps organize the local Veterans Business Collective. Marc will absolutely be coming back to the show to chat in the future. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did, and as always, don't be selfish with the information you find valuable!

Oglasi na spletu postajajo vse bolj agresivni, abotni in pretirano prisotni. Youtube ti med ogledom filmčka o smučanju ali ribolovu v istem dnevu še enajstič postreže z Bizovičarjem in Pacom, čeprav si ju že sit. Ko ugotoviš, da je edini način, da se Lada in Paca znebiš, vplačilo naročnine ali nakup plačljive verzije, postane jasno, na kakšni ideji temeljijo te rabote. V resnici ti z oglasi namenoma nasilno težijo, da ti lahko proti plačilu ponudijo zaščito pred njimi. Mafijske združbe jugoslovanskega porekla tej tehniki reševanja problemov, ki ti jih vsilijo same, rečejo "reket". V resnici pa gre za paradoks: platforme računajo oglaševanje prodajalcem, da vam gredo z oglasi na živce, da kupite vsebine brez njih!? Pa naj razume, kdor more. Kaj vse ste že plačali, ker so vam šli oglasi na živce? Koliko na mesec ste pripravljeni dati za izkušnjo pametnega telefona brez oglasov?

Admiral Swift (former PACOM) and Ambassador Osius discuss; 1) how legacy issues (cleaning up after Agent Orange, finding POW/MIA) have slowly laid the basis of trust; 2) how key visits and US gestures have led to breakthroughs; 3) the role of US veterans and of Vietnamese refugees in building ties; 4) managing sensitive issues (human rights and the long history between China and Vietnam). 

(NOTE: there were minor audio issues with the host's equipment, but LtGen Dana's comments are loud and clear) Today we're excited to welcome Krulak Center Non-Resident Fellow and retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Mike Dana. Lieutenant General Dana was an armor officer, logistics officer, and strategic planner in the Marine Corps for 37 years. During his career he deployed ten times to include deployments to Desert Storm, Operation Restore Hope, the Former Republic of Yugoslavia, Kuwait, Iraq, Haiti, and Afghanistan. He did joint tours in NORTHCOM, EUCOM, and PACOM. As a three-star he was the Deputy Commandant for Installations and Logistics from 2015-2018, and the Director of the Marine Corps Staff from 2018 to 2019. LtGen Dana is an Executive Fellow with the Institute for Defense and Business, and a Principal with PALLAS Advisor. He holds a Master's Degree from the Naval War College and is a graduate of the School of Advanced Warfighting. He has a B.A. from Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. Now, LtGen Dana has also given special focus to innovation and future warfare. As DC for Installations and Logistics, he formed a next generation logistics team (NEXLOG) focused on innovation. This team was instrumental in the fielding of additive manufacturing into the Marine Corps. NEXLOG also spearheaded experimentation with unmanned air, sea and land logistics delivery platforms. Additionally, this team was the incubator for the first ever Marine Corps innovation challenge, an event that provided Marines around the world a venue to express their ideas and develop solutions for tough logistical problems. Shortly before his retirement in 2019, LtGen Dana also published an assessment of the complexities of the current and future operating environment in an article for War on the Rocks entitled “Future War: Not Back to the Future.” His perspectives on innovation and future warfare are part of why we're excited to have him here today.

Presidents Donald J. Trump and Xi Jinping met April 6-7, 2017 at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. As the two men met for the first time, much hinged on their discussions. Despite President Trump’s tough-on-China campaign rhetoric and provocative tweets since the election, he and his advisors have adopted a more conciliatory line since assuming office. China regarded the new administration warily after President Trump broke diplomatic protocol and accepted a call from Taiwan’s president in December, but China too had moved to a more accommodating stance in the run-up to the meeting. To better understand each country’s takeaways from the summit and what it suggests for the future of U.S.-China relations, National Committee President Steve Orlins convened a teleconference with Evan Medeiros and Michael Green, both of whom served as special assistant to the president and senior director for Asian affairs at the National Security Council. North Korea and trade issues topped the agenda, while the issues of Taiwan and the South China Sea remained largely quiet. Rather than focusing on policy, the summit focused on developing a personal relationship between the two leaders early on and diminishing any notions of an emerging zero-sum relationship. To continue the dialogue, President Xi invited Trump to a state visit in China later this year. Xi also proposed four new dialogue mechanisms to replace the Obama Administration’s framework, which Trump agreed to. The new framework, the U.S.-China Comprehensive Dialogue, will feature four tracks: a diplomatic and security dialogue; a comprehensive economic dialogue; a law enforcement and cybersecurity dialogue; and a social and cultures issues dialogue. The Trump Administration, for its part, put forward a 100-day plan to address differences on economic issues between the two countries.
