Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arms Control After New START with Ariel Petrovics
Q: How concerned should we be about proliferation cascades?
There are several proliferation cascades currently that we worry about, like the Iran-Saudi Arabia one; if Iran gets nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia states they would want the same.
Arms Control After New START with Ariel Petrovics
Q: Do you think there's one that is going to be the most challenging to manage in this US-China competition atmosphere?
It's kind of circular; the more that you allow vertical arms control to erode, the harder it is to demonstrate leadership in the nuclear nonproliferation order.
Assessing the Prospect of War with Iran with Rose Kelanic
Q: What types of impacts would you expect to see if there is major Iranian retaliation to a US strike?
Kelanico describes the complexities and potential perceptions affecting energy markets and military dynamics in the region.
Assessing the Prospect of War with Iran with Rose Kelanic
Q: Do you have a sense of how this played out and where things might be headed?
Dr. Kelanic discusses the positive outcomes of recent indirect talks mediated by Oman, suggesting they could lead to direct talks between the U.S. and Iran.
The Trump-Roosevelt Corollary with Dan DePetris
Q: Why do you think it has been such a failure, and yet, it's back on the radar, at least as a rhetorical device, in this current administration?
Focusing on the supply side of drugs has been largely ineffective; the real solution lies in addressing the demand side which is driving drug fatalities.
