Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard K Betts

The U.S. president can launch a first-strike nuclear attack at any time, and there’s no law mandating they seek advice first. Some experts think that’s too much power to put in one person’s hands. Episode Page and Show Notes Featured Guests: Richard K.

“Sicherheitshalber” ist der Podcast zur sicherheitspolitischen Lage in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt. In Folge 21 sprechen Thomas Wiegold, Ulrike Franke, Frank Sauer und Carlo Masala zuerst über die Rückkehr und die Rolle der militärischen Abschreckung in Europa - und zwar konkret am Beispiel des Beitrags der Bundeswehr zur NATO Enhanced Forward Presence in Litauen. Als zweites wagen die vier Podcast eine sicherheitspolitische Vorausschau auf das Jahr 2020 und darüber hinaus. Es wird eher düster, so viel sei verraten. Abschließend diesmal ausnahmsweise kein Sicherheitshinweis, sondern unsere traditionellen Buchtipps - diesmal mit vielen Sachbüchern und Romanen in deutscher und englischer Sprache zum Lesen und Verschenken. Sicherheitshalber kommt 2020 zurück - und zwar LIVE, am 23. Januar in der Urania in Berlin! Am besten gleich jetzt hier ganz fix (das womöglich letzte) Ticket sichern: https://www.urania.de/sicherheitshalber-der-podcast-zur-sicherheitspolitischen-lage Bis dahin wünschen Thomas, Frank, Carlo und Ulrike allen Hörerinnen und Hörern schöne Feiertage und einen guten Start ins neue Jahr.

Richard K. Betts, Ph.D, is the Director of the Saltzmann Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University. We talk about how we can be meaningful stakeholders in foreign policy by voting and supporting political movements. Vote & Support We must use our power to vote and support political movements in order to activate fundamental change in our world. Be an active volunteer in an organization Historically, the United States has been a country of joiners in various organizations to promote solutions to public policy programs. People joined organizations and devoted their volunteered time in large numbers because it is one of the basic ways in which people indirectly affect bigger issues that they don't feel much direct control over. Don't take it for granted! Demand and create a more peaceful future It's very damaging to the political process when people participate irresponsibly. Make the effort to learn enough to make responsible decisions. Read newspapers, inform yourself, and stay curious about what is going on.  Then vote for the candidate that comes closest to your point of view.
