Summary

How close are we to a potential military conflict between China and Taiwan? Tensions are high with the Chinese conducting live weapons drills and practicing a potential invasion. It all comes in the aftermath of US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. Former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell joins Mosheh for a conversation to discuss why he is extremely concerned about a Chinese invasion in the coming years, the role the US might play, the state of the US-China relationship and why the Pelosi visit may have been a major mistake. Morell spent more than 30 years in the CIA, serving as Deputy Director and twice as Acting Director. He worked with multiple presidents, maintaining the CIA's relationships with foreign leaders, among many other duties. Notably, he was the only person who was both with President Bush on 9/11, and with President Obama on May 2, 2011, when Bin Laden was brought to justice. He is currently the host of the Intelligence Matters podcast and a senior national security contributor for CBS News. It is the first part of a three episode series with Morell-- looking into some of the biggest challenges and threats facing the US. Upcoming weeks will delve into Afghanistan and the state of the terror threat, as well as an episode going into Putin’s mindset as the war in Ukraine approaches the six month mark. – Please remember to subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review. – Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
