"Andrew Day, Jude Russo, and Rebecca Draeger discuss a new print issue that covers Ukraine's disconnect from the West, the looming catastrophe in Latin America, strategic ambiguity re China and Taiwan, and more."
"Then, Andrew and Jude discuss the Trump administration's new National Security Strategy, its provocative assertions about European decline, and the Trump-Monroe Doctrine."
"Recorded December 11, 2025."
A new print issue examines Ukraine's growing disconnect from Western allies and the implications for regional security. Analysis highlights a looming catastrophe in Latin America driven by political instability, economic distress, and external influences. The concept of strategic ambiguity regarding China and Taiwan receives focused attention as a central component of contemporary policy debates. The Trump administration's National Security Strategy adopts provocative assertions about European decline and reorients hemispheric priorities toward a Trump-Monroe Doctrine. These orientations signal a recalibration of alliance commitments, increased emphasis on Western hemisphere security, and potential shifts in deterrence and diplomatic practices. The strategy frames competition with major powers through unilateral posture and selective engagement, raising questions about alliance management and crisis escalation.
