According to conventional wisdom, Washington is a ‘one-crisis city’ unable to effectively handle two major problems simultaneously. Perhaps this applies to the ongoing Iranian nuclear effort, when the Biden administration is almost totally focused on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The Vienna talks have been dragging on with no reported breakthrough, and the Iranians are slowly but systematically enriching uranium to the fairly high level of 60%. If there is any overlap between the Ukraine crisis and...

Ever since the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded, in 1949, the Mediterranean and the Levant constituted NATO’s Southern Flank, with the U.S. Sixth Fleet the main striking force in the region. With Europe once again a hot spot, especially on the Russia-Ukraine front, NATO could find itself back in its core mission, having all but withdrawn from the Mideast trouble spots its member nations deployed units to over the last three decades. If that is the case, and the last regional state ...

“The arc of the moral universe is long,” Martin Luther King Jr. once said. The political universe may not be very moral, but it, too, has an ARC - the American-Russian-Chinese domination of world affairs. In this episode, we will explore the relationship between the three components of this ARC, which with the tensions within Europe seem to be the major powers in play. What is to be expected in the Ukraine and Taiwan crises? Do traditional allies and partners remain in the trio’s magnetic fields...

Of the two neighboring Arab countries upholding their peace accords with Israel, Jordan is always of more concern to strategic planners in Tel Aviv and their Cabinet in Jerusalem. Egypt’s mainland is far away across the Sinai Desert, and its regime seems relatively safe. But the Hashemite Kingdom has to contend with a Palestinian majority, cells of Jihadi groups, a vocal opposition to the economic policies of King Abdullah II, and security problems in nearby southern Syria. Israel has excellent ...

Conflicting signals have been coming out of Vienna over the last couple of weeks, leading to the disappointing conclusion that a year into the administration of US President Joe Biden - who promised to undo Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran - the parties are closer to an agreement on a renewed formula but still have to bridge the gaps between them. Biden’s attention is focused elsewhere, especially on the Russia-Ukraine tension; and his spokespeople have taken to tal...

Over the last few weeks, we have watched Iran practice an offensive military exercise focused against Israel. Iran fired rockets they claim can reach Israel and emphasized that Israel is the target. Yet as we speak, the diplomatic effort to arrive at an agreement with the Islamic regime of Iran about the nuclear issue is scheduled to continue in Vienna. What kind of concessions will be made to Iran as the world tries to curtail the Iranian nuclear program? Panel: - Col. (Ret.) Miri Eisen, Host. ...

One of the biggest challenges facing any country is to learn the lessons from past conflicts and implement these lessons to better face the next confrontation. In the Israeli reality it seems the next conflict is never too far away. It could be against Hamas terror from the south or Hezbollah terror from the north. We also are hearing as of late a growing clamor of voices about a possible direct violent confrontation against Iran’s Islamic regime. Panel: - Col. (Ret.) Miri Eisin, Host. - Amir Or...

This past year of 2021 will be marked in history as a year of transition; a year in which failed ‘policies of containment’ matured into ‘strategic competition’ – challenging a so-called “rules-based order” that developed over the years to ensure global stability. What could we, as Europeans, learn from this past year – at a time when both internal and external forces are engaged in a multilayered offensive to reshape this continent’s identity? Panel: - Jonathan Hessen: Host. - Gen. Klaus Naumann...

The clichés have been used so many times that they have worn thin: “All options on the table,” “All means at our disposal, “Plan B,” “Other tools in our box.” These are of course intended to signal, indicate and threaten - without being direct about it. This is prose rather than poetry, because once a threat is issued, it has to be acted upon, which does not seem to be the case in the Iran nuclear stand-off. So, if diplomacy in Vienna fails, what measures can those nations and organizations conc...
