In this special on-location edition of Peace and Power, host @Garymarx reports directly from Warsaw, Poland, bringing listeners firsthand coverage of the Warsaw Security Forum, one of Europe's prominent international security conferences. Organized by the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, the Warsaw Security Forum brings together political leaders, military officials, policymakers, and security experts from across the transatlantic community to discuss NATO, European defense, Russia's war against Ukraine, and emerging threats to global security. Founded in 2014, the forum has grown into a major gathering for international security discussions, with approximately 3,000 participants representing 90 countries at this year's event. Rather than a traditional studio interview, this special episode features a collection of short reports recorded by Gary throughout the conference. Gary speaks with @Josh_Bersin of the forum's New Security Leaders program about the conference's growth, its mission, and the importance of building lasting relationships among the next generation of transatlantic leaders. He also shares observations from sessions featuring prominent American and European officials, including former CIA Director General David Petraeus, General @generalkellogg , U.S. Ambassador to NATO @MatthewWhitaker , former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, former British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, and Senator Roger Wicker. Throughout the episode, Gary highlights discussions surrounding NATO's collective defense strategy, Russia's aggression against Ukraine, nuclear deterrence, emerging military technologies, intelligence sharing, and the growing security challenges posed by cooperation among Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The special coverage also includes recognition of a Ukrainian frontline medic's courage and General Kellogg's contributions to American national security. Join Gary Marx for this special Peace and Power report from Warsaw, featuring firsthand observations, international perspectives, and important conversations about the future of European and global security.
