Technology is rapidly changing how modern wars are being fought, and the United States needs to reevaluate its national security priorities to adapt. Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Admiral James Stavridis, joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss the transformation of war, China's calculus in Taiwan, and the biggest threats facing the US, both inside the border and abroad. Stavridis warns China is still intent on pursuing its expansionist goals and territorial claims in the South China Sea. He also thinks President Xi Jinping may be looking at Russia's stalled Ukraine invasion, as well as the global reaction to it, and wondering whether military action in Taiwan is in China's best interest. Stavridis predicts a “new triad” of warfare–unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, and cyber special forces–will lead to armies around the world will shift their focus from personnel and artillery to unmanned systems and AI. While it will lead to reduced costs for traditional militaries, it's also empowering terrorist groups and malefactors in an increasingly high-stakes game of asymmetrical warfare. Stavridis' newest book, The Restless Wave, is out October 8.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: James Stavridis Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

How can we use the benefits of artificial intelligence while minimizing its dangers in a time of swift technological progress?In episode 441, Admiral James Stavridis shares his books, "2034" and "2054," which explore the potential consequences of a war between the U.S. and China and the rise of artificial intelligence.

In a follow-up to their fictional exploration of a military conflict between the U.S. and China in the 2030s, Stavridis and Ackerman explore how artificial intelligence, advances in biotechnology, fractious politics, and an evolving world order defined by nation-states and corporate power could shape the midpoint of the 21st century.

As we begin to see the effects of AI on the American political process and society, where will this trajectory lead? In their new novel 2054, the follow-up to 2034, authors Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis imagine a moment when a radical leap forward in technology combines with America's violent partisan divide to create an existential threat to the country, and the world. How will the world's great powers react in a new era of scientific discovery? In this virtual book talk three years after their discussion on 2034, Ackerman, Stavridis, and Doorstep co-hosts Nikolas Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin discuss AI, biotech, geopolitics, and a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid.

ABD'nin Neoliberal/ Finansal kapitalizm üzerinden sürdürdüğü küresel hegemonyasının çözülme sürecine girmesi ülke içindeki “Amerikan müesses nizamı”yla halk arasındaki görece uyumu da parçaladı. ABD Başkanı Biden'ın Amerika'nın ‘istisnai ulus' olduğu şeklindeki kibirli iddiayı tekrarlamasına rağmen yapılan araştırmalar yeni kuşak Amerikalıların aynı fikirde olmadıklarını gösteriyor. Araştırmalar, sözde “Amerikan Rüyası”nın sönümlendiğini de gözler önüne seriyor. Yeni kuşaklar önceki kuşaklara göre geleceklerinden son derece endişeliler. İç uyumu bozulan ABD, dışarda yeni bir jeopolitik/jeokonomik düzenleme peşinde. Avrupa'yı yanında tutmak, Çin'in yükselişini kontrol altına almak, gelişen bölgesel güçleri sindirmek bu jeopolitik düzenlemenin başlıca unsurları arasında yer alıyor. Asya-Pasifik'te askeri potansiyelini her geçen yıl daha da yükselten ABD, Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı'nı Avrupa'yı yanında tutmanın aracı olarak kullanıyor. ABD'nin Ortadoğu'da Hindistan-Körfez-İsrail merkezli yeniden düzenleme girişimleriyse Çin'in “Kuşak-Yol Projesi”ni akamete uğratmayı amaçlıyor. Bu üç bölge gelecekte bir “büyük savaş” için mühürlenmiş gözüküyor. ABD'den yeşil ışık alması halinde İsrail, “Filistin soykırımı”nı bir bölgesel savaşa dönüştürmeye hazır. ABD jeopolitik/jeoekonomik yeniden düzenlemeyi “Demokrasiler” ve “Otokrasiler” arasında ‘varoluşsal' bir mücadele olarak maskeliyordu. İsrail'in Gazze'de yürüttüğü Filistin soykırımı maskeyi indirdi. Biden Yönetimi dünyayı karşısına almak pahasına İsrail'e koşulsuz desteği sürdürüyor. Böylece ABD'nin Rusya'ya karşı öne sürdüğü tüm argümanları da çöpe gitti. ABD'nin dünyayı ‘daha iyi bir yer yapmak' gibi bir davasının bulunmadığı, tek istediği şeyin, ne pahasına olursa olsun kendisini en üstte, diğerleriniyse aşağıda tutmak olduğu anlaşılıyor. ABD'nin NATO Avrupa Müttefik Kuvvetler eski Komutanı emekli Amiral James Stavridis geçen hafta yaptığı bir açıklamada Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı'na atıf yaparak, “Hiçbir ABD askeri öldürülmeden ya da riske atılmadan Rus ordusunun yarısı yok edildi ve ülke bunu ABD'nin yıllık savunma bütçesinin yüzde 5'ine eşdeğer bir kaynakla yaptı” diye konuştu. Stavridis, Ukrayna'da işleri yolunda gittiğini, tek endişesinin ise ABD ve Avrupalı müttefiklerinin Ukrayna'yı desteklemek için verdiği taahhütleri yerine getirmemeleri olacağını söylüyordu. Ukrayna'ya yeni bir yardım paketi ABD Kongresi'ndeki Cumhuriyetçiler'in engeline takılmış bulunuyor. Bu yüzden Stavridis, Ukrayna'ya ABD desteğinin kesintiye uğramasından endişe ediyor. Öte yandan hem Rusya'ya yaptırımların “enerji krizi” başta olmak üzere yan etkileri, hem de Ukrayna'ya askerî-malî yardımlar Avrupa'yı da köşeye sıkıştırmış bulunuyor. Ukrayna Savaşı Avrupa için adeta bir “dayanıklılık testi”ne dönüşmüş durumda. Analistler Rusya'nın yaptırımlara göğüs germesi ve savaşı sürdürmesinin Avrupa'nın

Great Britain is considering Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine to stage a major counteroffensive against Russia in the spring. The tanks have 1,200 horsepower engines and are equipped with 120 mm guns. The decision is expected to be announced at the meeting of NATO officials at the Ramstein airbase in Germany on Jan. 20. The UK's willingness to supply battle tanks to Ukraine is a major escalation in World War III. It comes in response to France's decision to provide Ukraine with armored AMX-10 combat vehicles.

Inflation was running hot even before Russia invaded Ukraine, but disruption in Europe's bread basket certainly hasn't helped matters and there are now plenty of warnings that a global food shortage could be looming. Even if the normal cycle of sowing crops and harvesting them can keep going uninterrupted in Ukraine, wheat exports would still need to get out of the country. With Russia currently blockading the Black Sea, this seems like a major challenge. In this episode of Odd Lots, former Nato Supreme Allied Commander Admiral James Stavridis presents one idea to get Ukrainian grains out and to the rest of the world. He suggests reaching back to a military playbook last used in the Tanker War between Iraq and Iran. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Admiral James Stavridis knows what it takes to make decisions in battle. Stavridis says the things needed to make good decisions in war are not that different from what's needed to make good decisions in everyday life. He'll tell us about it.

I don't often get to question military leaders, either current or former. My track record isn't great. Consider the last time I spoke with General Wesley Clark. It was June of 2014. I was guest hosting the Randi Rhodes Show, and ISIS was gaining ground in Iraq, and it looked like we were going back in. So I asked the logical questions, and his responses shocked me. I let him know. Needless to say, it didn't end well! (Hear it for yourself if you're interested (it's posted at https://nicolesandler.com/5-20-21/). Well, today, I try again. Not with General Clark, but with Admiral James Stavidris. I've seen him over the years on NBC and MSNBC, and he has a new book out, "To Risk It All: Nine Conflicts and the Crucible of Decision"...It's about making tough decisions while under fire, in the heat of the moment. I asked him about that with regards to the commander in charge of the school police in Uvalde, Texas, and the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. As he served for a while as NATO Supreme Commander, I asked about NATO, along with Ukraine and Russia. And I asked him about an issue that's been hanging out there since the start of the war in Iraq, about possible lack of transparency when former military appears on TV as military experts without disclosing who they're working for, usually in the military industrial complex... As usual, we'll begin with a look at all that's happened since we last spoke on Friday...

The politicization of the military is one of the most controversial in the national security community right now. Because of that, I've encountered a number of military leaders of all backgrounds and services who are reluctant to share their views on national security and geopolitical issues, for many different reasons. My guest on this episode is definitely not in that camp. Admiral James Stavridis (USN ret.) is former NATO Supreme Allied Commander. He's an Operating Executive of The Carlyle Group, and Chair of the Board of Counselors of McLarty Associates. He's a columnist for TIME Magazine and Chief International Security Analyst for NBC News. His new book is "2034: A Novel of the Next World War" along with Elliot Ackerman. Adm. Stavridis discusses why officers should, and indeed have a responsibility to, engage in the marketplace of ideas; and why his book's timeline for war with China might be too long.

Ask national security experts how they view China today and they'll likely the use a term like “adversary” or “economic competitor.” But what about “enemy?” How close is the world to all-out-war breaking out between United States and China? According to US Admiral James Stavridis (Ret.), who served as Supreme Allied Commander to NATO, those odds are higher than many would like to admit. In fact, Stavridis says, the US risks losing its military dominance in the coming years to China. And if push comes to shove in a military conflict, it's not entirely clear who would prevail. Admiral Stavridis discusses his bestselling new military thriller 2034 and makes the case for why his fictional depiction of a US-China war could easily become reality.   Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
