The Alexander Hamilton Society

Where leaders get their start.

This week, our New York Professional Chapter hosted @USAmbUN Mike Waltz for a conversation on American power, global leadership, and the enduring relevance of our founding principles — a timely dialogue in honor of #America250. 🇺🇸

Executive Director @MikeWatsonVa argues in @LawLiberty that the case for defending Taiwan goes far beyond chips & democracy. Beijing could reshape the balance of power in East Asia, weaken U.S. alliances, and expand the CCP’s coercive reach.

Taiwan is back in the news. I wrote in @LawLiberty about how Taiwan's security effects American interests. Hint: it's going to matter even if we stop importing semiconductors. Link below.

A great discussion with the SMU @hamiltonsoc and @MikeWatsonVa on America's founding and its role in the world today. I so often leave these events encouraged but this chapter was especially strong.

Last May, AHS Board Member @MEaglen wrote for @NYTimes on the Pentagon’s need to improve purchasing, recruitment, and contract reform. Mackenzie's analysis is timelier than ever as the military buildup around #Iran raises questions about U.S. supplies and capacity.

[Mackenzie Eaglen @MEaglen]

America's military magazine depth is too shallow.

Stocks must be replenished quickly & at scale in order to position our armed forces to succeed in wars big and small, long or short.

Great discussion with @Peter_Beyer, @roland_theis, and members of @hamiltonsoc on Germany's role in the future of European leadership and security. Thank you, Ashley Rhoades, for moderating!

[Rachel Hoff @rachelhoff814]

Today on George Washington’s birthday, I’m reflecting on how he established the foundations of U.S. leadership: robust international diplomacy, vigorous foreign trade and commerce, and a strong national defense. Check out my recent essay for @hamiltonsoc: https://t.co/ZUk7ssLjah
