In this episode, Daniel talks to Ali Wyne, author of “America’s Great-Power Opportunity: Revitalizing U.S. Foreign Policy to Meet the Challenges of Strategic Competition.” They discuss the potential dangers of defining U.S. foreign policy simply in terms of countering Russia and China, the need for internal American renewal, and steps to be taken to avoid the Great Power war. In the first segment, Dan and Kelley talk about a compelling new report that shows the European people are actually tired of the US-led security umbrella. The question is, are their governments willing and able to start investing in their own defense?
