Episode Synopsis

New Zealand is not stranger to tectonic shifts, perched as it is on a volcanic belt, but the current geopolitical quakes may prove an entirely different matter. The University of Waikato's Dr Reuben Steff joins the podcast to argue that without joining the high tech-focused pillar two of the Australia, UK and US (AUKUS) agreement, NZ may find themselves at a major disadvantage in the new world order. Plus, the US Defence Secretary Peter Hegseth orders a softer cybersecurity stance toward Russia. Reading listSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
