Deskripsi

In this fireside chat hosted by the Irregular Warfare Initiative’s Project Europe, General Ben Hodges—former Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe—offers a frank assessment of the Ukraine peace process, Western strategic drift, and NATO’s current footing. In conversation with Olga Chiriac, General Hodges dismantles Kremlin talking points, critiques American naivety, and makes the case for renewed political will in Europe. From information warfare to the erosion of soft power, he lays out what must be done to prevent Moscow from rewriting Europe’s security architecture. No slogans—just hard truths from one of NATO’s most respected military minds. Episode produced in partnership with the Black Sea Area Studies Program at the University of Bucharest
