Thanks to the following people whose work was used in the research and writing for this piece. @MarkGaleotti @NATOMNBLatvia @AnnwieAnna @phildstewart @HughAWilliamson @russianforces @MarkYoungman_UK @thorstenbenner @alex_kokcharov @NordicBalticIns open.spotify.com/episode/5pf…

PHIL BREEDLOVE (@pmbreedlove) of @GTliberalarts and Fmr Commander of US EUCOM & SACEUR joined us to unpack NATO command structures, the US role within them, growing interest in the JEF's and bilateral defence agreements, and how a response to a Baltic invasion would unfold. 🇺🇸🇪🇺

NEIL MELVIN (@Eurasia21cntry) of @ResearchUI returns to the program to examine the military developments taking shape in Russia, the challenge this poses for Europe, and why NATO may only have a narrow window to prepare if Moscow turns its attention away from Ukraine. 🇷🇺🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹

BEN BARRY of @IISS_org also joined us to lay out the US military position in Europe, the problems Europe is facing in scaling up defence production, and the dangerous mismatch between European and Russian timelines for rebuilding military capacity. 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺

RUBEN STEWART (@2eatsoup) of @IISS_org joined us to outline the specialised capabilities the US provides to Europe, why many of them would be difficult to replace, and the complications Washington itself might face if it tried to pull those forces back. 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺

NEW EPISODE >> COULD EUROPE DEFEND ITSELF WITHOUT THE US? As relations between Washington and Europe become increasingly uncertain, many are asking whether the continent could actually defend itself if the United States were to pull back from Europe? theredlinepodcast.com/post/c…

With all the renewed talk about the Falklands. 1. ARG doesn't have the naval capacity to be able to take and hold them like they did in the 80's. 2. The UK still keeps a force ready to counter this (even though they probably should have been diverted to the Pacific years ago)

I worry that this is happening with enough regularity to make us seem somewhat suspicious.....

NEW EPISODE >> EXCLUSIVE: WE TOURED ONE OF EUROPE’S MOST SECRETIVE TANK FACTORIES 🤫 @MikeHilliardAus + @JamesKerLindsay + David Schroeder (The Cold War) were granted rare access inside a classified facility producing the next generation of EU tanks. theredlinepodcast.com/post/e…

ERIC RUDENSHIOLD (@eRudenshiold) of @CaspianPolicy closes out the episode by examining the Caucasus, TRIPP, and some of the major hurdles still facing the Middle Corridor, and why the project must move quickly to avoid missing its window of viability. theredlinepodcast.com/post/t…

PETER LEONARD (@Peter__Leonard) of @capsunlock_org joins the program to examine the strategic logic of extending Middle Corridor infrastructure deeper into Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran, and the broader regional gains such expansion could deliver. theredlinepodcast.com/post/t…

BRUCE PANNIER (@BrucePannier) of @FPRI and @SLonCentralAsia returns to the program to examine some of the key choke points and constraints facing the Middle Corridor, from port bottlenecks and rail capacity to regulatory mismatches across the route. theredlinepodcast.com/post/t…

S. FREDERICK STARR of @CACI_SilkRoad joined us this week to discuss why the Middle Corridor has moved to the centre of the strategic conversation, and how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has opened a new window for Central Asia and the Caucasus. theredlinepodcast.com/post/t…

NEW EPISODE >> THE MIDDLE CORRIDOR: REALITY VS. RHETORIC We examine the facts, figures, and infrastructure behind the Middle Corridor, and assess its economic and geopolitical viability across Central Asia, China, and the Caucasus. theredlinepodcast.com/post/t…
