Episode Synopsis
Ben Hodges answers questions about strategy and the balance of power in today’s geo-political world.
Some of the points we covered during the interview:
Four months to the day after the Taliban swept into Kabul, and in the wake of the US/Allied Forces withdrawal from Afghanistan – and as you know, some call it a humiliating defeat - how would you characterise what happened? And in light of that how reliable is the United States as the leader, militarily speaking, of the free world?
The front cover story of The Economist this week is “What will America fight for?” How would you answer that newspaper’s question?
Is the USA treaty-bound to defend Taiwan? How would that be done? What scenarios do military people examine?
