In this episode of Battlegrounds, H.R. McMaster and General Carter discuss his experiences in the British military, the war in Ukraine, the implications of the US and Coalition withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the future of warfare.
Reflecting on his vision of the world today, former chief of the UK Defense Force Nick Carter discusses the world order in terms of Ukraine and the challenges that democracies face. Institutions and alliances from the first half of the 20th century are ripe for reexamination in light of current strategic developments. Leaders should learn from the goals of nation building and the withdrawal from Afghanistan to determine how to support budding but challenged regions. McMaster and Carter discuss how the West can move forward in this period of renewed great power competition.
