[Miranda Priebe @MirandaPriebe]

The Trump administration’s concept of NATO 3.0 aims to rebalance the transatlantic relationship and stabilize ties with Russia. I spoke with @securitydpod about which policies advance these goals and which undermine them.

New Episode!

Domestic surveillance grew exponentially after 9/11. Yet even 25 years later, it continues to grow in ways that undermine civil liberties without making us exponentially safer. Why?

In the spirit of the 250th anniversary of American independence, we believe JQA's words, grounded in the revolutionary American values of liberty and peace, remain a timeless exhortation that today’s national security leaders would do well to follow. https://t.co/Zm4ZwheF1P

[Security Dilemma @securitydpod]

On July 4, 1821, John Quincy Adams delivered his most-remembered speech, advising that America “goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” Last year, we reflected on its contemporary relevance and why his legacy commands opposing unnecessary war.
