Geopolitical Risk Considerations: The Biden Administration and U.S. Foreign Policy Challenges with Zack Cooper

37m · Published 05 Oct 09:00

Zack Cooper, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and lecturer at Princeton University, joins this episode to discuss the upcoming Camp David summit between Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. This momentous occasion is a result of leadership from South Korea's President Yoon and Japan's Prime Minister Kishida in hopes of mending ties since Japan's invasion of Manchuria a hundred years ago. Zack also delves into U.S. policy in Southeast Asia and its pivot to the Pacific. He also explores the Communist Party's reliance on economic growth to maintain control, the potential for increased tensions around Taiwan in the future, and the U.S.'s ambiguous commitments to Taiwan due to treaty changes in the 1970s. 

Tune into this episode for an engaging discussion about geopolitics in East Asia!

[00:00 - 09:14] Exploring China's Geopolitical and Military Ambitions

  • Japan and South Korea have never had an independent diplomatic meeting outside of a more significant summit
  • The U.S. and Japan have had their differences going back to World War II, but Japan and Korea never had the same forcing function
  • China is playing a significant role in pushing Japan and Korea together as they trust China less than each other
  • The Camp David Summit is about trying to make it more difficult for them to focus on historical issues and force them into the future

[09:15 - 17:39] Split Opinions on Responding to Economic Downturn and Taiwan Tensions

  • Xi Jinping's thinking is uncertain, and both a weak, inward-looking China and an aggressive, brittle China are possible
  • Russia's experiment of consolidating national unity by attacking Ukraine has not worked out
  • Taiwan is different from Ukraine, and it is unclear what the U.S. commitments are with Taiwan
  • Chinese people have delivered remarkable economic growth in the past decades, but now the growth numbers for this year are lower

[17:40 - 24:42] Examining the Challenges of the U.S.-China Conflict Over Taiwan

  • The Biden team has three pillars of their approach: Invest, Align, and Compete with China
  • Taiwan has strategic value as it is close to U.S. treaty alliances with Japan and the Philippines
  • China trying to invade Taiwan is one of the hardest things militarily in the world
  • The U.S. Navy is smaller than China's, and U.S. facilities and people in the region would be under threat if a conflict arises

[24:43 - 37:22] Examining Command and Control in Southeast Asia 

  • U.S. could strike the Chinese mainland if a decision is made in Oval Office or White House Situation Room
  • China hasn't been involved in a major conflict for 50 years, and technology is different now

Quote:

"It is a fascinating moment in time, watching Japan and Korea finally try and move past some of their historical differences." - Zack Cooper

Samuel Bendett discusses the Russian military's use of robotics, UAVs, artificial intelligence, and other weapons at the Army 2022 & 2023 expos. Sam provides insight into the global implications of these technologies on modern warfare, including how smaller countries can now defend themselves more effectively with commercial drone technology. He also discusses the increasing reliance on counter-UAS rifles and other offensive and defensive tactics to disrupt drone operations and communications with operators. Finally, he explores how AI is being used for data analysis and decision-making in this conflict, as well as the potential of long-range and mid-range combat UAVs and ISR aircraft. 

This episode will be an informative and thought-provoking conversation about the changing landscape of modern warfare.

[00:00 - 09:01] Exploring Russia's Military Industrial Complex

  • 1.9 million people from 85 countries attended the 2022 military expo, as it showcased over 20,000 military weapons and systems

  • Both sides of the conflict in Ukraine are using commercial drones for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target tracking
  • Military-designed UAVs are used for longer-range missions than commercial drones
  • Commercial technologies are taking center stage in this war, especially at the tactical level
  • It is now difficult to avoid being seen by adversaries due to the use of commercial technologies

[24:41 - 30:28] US Leads the Way in UAV and Military Robotics Development

  • Russia and Ukraine invest in large-scale, portable electronic warfare systems to jam signals and safeguard against attacks.
  • The US is a global leader in UAVs, but the Ukrainian conflict is different due to countermeasures

[30:29 - 39:21] Closing Segment

  • Due to the conflict, schedules for acquiring military systems have been condensed
  • AI is used for data analysis and decision-making in Ukraine

Quotes:

"The war in Ukraine is kind of shaping our perceptions of what kind of UAVs are becoming necessary, and are becoming a must-have for global militaries, and what kind of UAVs other militaries should really concentrate on." - Samuel Bendett

"The United States is the leading power in the development and fielding of military UAVs and different types of robotics as well. Other countries look to the United States as a leader in the field." - Samuel Bendett

The Risk of Deflation

12m · Published 07 Sep 09:02

Dive into this episode as we unravel the intricacies of deflation and its profound effects on economies. We'll explore why deflation is often seen as a pernicious economic phenomenon and why the Fed will always err on the side of inflation rather than deflation.
