Assessing the National Security Strategy

Chris, Zack, and Melanie sit down to talk about the
recently-released Biden-Harris National Security Strategy.
Several months delayed, the document recognizes that the United
States is in an intense competition with China and asserts that
Washington will look for ways to cooperate with both allies and
adversaries on important global challenges such as climate
change. Does the NSS assess the threat environment correctly? How
will the United States manage both competition and cooperation
with adversaries? Is the U.S. doing what it must to “outmaneuver”
China during this “decisive decade”?


Chris is bothered that it is hard to have an honest debate about
what the United States is doing in Ukraine, Zack discusses the
legacy of Ash Carter, and Melanie is appalled that American
military pilots have been selling their services to the Chinese
military.
