Summary

Elbridge Colby is an American national security policy expert who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Force Development from 2017 to 2018 during the Trump administration. Join Colby and Buck in a riveting analysis of the Biden Administration's China policy in this must-watch episode. Over the past year, tensions have been escalating in various global hotspots, including Europe, the Middle East, Israel, and the Taiwan Strait. Discover why Colby is raising the alarm about the U.S.'s readiness to face China and Russia's increasingly assertive military postures. Special guest, former Colonel Andrew Mil Verebery, dives deep into the complexities of Taiwan's geopolitical status, shedding light on China's potential use of ambiguity and misinformation. Will this strategy lead to a peaceful intervention, or is it a precursor to a more aggressive stance against the U.S.?

Uncover the potential ramifications of China's actions in the upcoming 2024 US election cycle, and hear our experts' take on the volatile situation in Ukraine. With a potential military stalemate on the horizon, the political and military consequences could be profound. The speakers don't stop there; they delve into the broader implications of global instability, including the crises in Afghanistan and the Middle East, and the looming threat of a declining US dollar. Finally, brace yourself as Colby discusses the ominous nuclear threats emerging from the Korean Peninsula. With tensions mounting with North Korea, the call for vigilance and preparedness has never been more urgent. Tune in for a comprehensive and thought-provoking discussion that will leave you more informed and aware of the international chessboard.
