Several foreign affairs headlines are top of mind today, with a civil war reigniting in Syria, Trump's cabinet picks, and, the Biden administration encouraging Ukraine to consider a national draft of 18 year-olds to bolster its military in the war against Russia. That also makes Michael wonder, what if we had to bring back the draft here? Listen to this wide-ranging conversation with Admiral James Stavridis, the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. Original air date 2 December 2024.
Admiral Stavridis is vice chair, global affairs at the Carlisle Group, and Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Rockefeller Foundation. He is former Dean of the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University.
