EXERCISE FOR THE BRAIN

May 10 • 9:45 a.m. • RSVP by May 8North Korea

Led by the clearly unstable Kim Jung Un, North Korea continues to directly threaten its more prosperous Asian neighbors and now, the United States. As the world watches, the hermit kingdom is building an increasingly sophisticated nuclear program, as it already possesses the world’s fourth-largest standing army. The recent assassination in a Malaysian airport terminal of Kim Jong Nam, Kim Jong Un’s half-brother, with the banned nerve agent VX, is the latest example of this irrational and extremely dangerous state.

June 14 • 9:45 a.m. • RSVP by June 12Putin, Russia, Eastern Europe and Beyond

As events in Georgia during 2008, and recently in Ukraine and Crimea have demonstrated, Russian President Vladimir Putin considers large swathes of Eastern Europe to be part of a Russian sphere of influence. What are the consequences of these aggressive Russian actions, which now include meddling in the electoral affairs of autonomous democracies? Does Europe, the United States or NATO have realistic strategic options to deal with them?

July 12 • 9:45 a.m. • RSVP by July 10China

Over the last 25 years, China has surpassed the United States and Japan to become the top producer and exporter of manufactured goods in the world. In that time, China has also become one of the world’s largest owners of foreign debt. Should the world be concerned with China’s large army and increasing military sophistication, its active territorial expansion in the Pacific, and the use of hacking and industrial espionage for national and geopolitical gain?

August 9 • 9:45 a.m. • RSVP by August 7Pakistan

As Britain partitioned its Indian empire in 1947, it created Pakistan as a state for hundreds of millions of Muslims living on the subcontinent. Eventually, a “stable” Pakistan evolved; teetering between democracy and military dictatorship and becoming a nuclear power, as it warily eyed its mortal enemy, India. Since the 9/11 attacks, however, Pakistan, an American “ally,” has become a haven for terrorist fugitives, like Osama bin Ladin, while facing an adversary its own Special Services forces helped create: the Taliban.

Flashpoints in American Foreign Policy - Join us as we consider those places around the world that cause so much lost sleep among those responsible for protecting our national security. These countries are the focus of much of America’s “soft power” diplomatic overtures and, increasingly, its “hard power” military planning.
