Global Implications of The Israel-Hamas War

Strength through deterrence: this important principle of foreign policy has fallen by the wayside in the post-Cold War era, and according to Congressman Mike Gallagher, we’re seeing the result of that playing out across the globe. A discussion between him and Alder CEO Michael Davidson about the Israel-Hamas war turned into a wide-reaching conversation about the geopolitical dynamics across the world, how tensions from the Indo-Pacific to the Mediterranean are related, and the role of the United States in all of it. The implications of our role in the international community don’t just affect national security – they are important levers in our economic standing. Congressman Gallagher provocatively said that our nation needs to build better guardrails, particularly with regard to China, so that we don’t end up funding our own destruction. This discussion is a must-listen to help you understand the complicated dynamics brought to the fore of international relations and foreign policy.
