"Conflict in eastern ukraine prey on had one. I'm wondering back in october. You wrote a piece headlined. America has no reason to be so powerful. And i'm wondering what the given the fact that i mentioned before this continued huge military footprint of the united states around the world once you have such a humongous military industrial complex. It must always find. Enemies has doesn't to be able to justify its continued existence and to what the greek and the public or even some political leaders breakaway from this sense that the united states must be the policeman of the world. I share that concern. I think the fact that the united states had built up not just its military industrial complex domestically but also it's relationships and military positions globally. That explains a lot of the kind of inertia that we saw after the collapse of the soviet union. When you would think that the reason for being of this massive national security state had gone away that said i think we are seeing stirrings at least of change over the last decade or so everybody has to understand now that we are no longer living in the unipol or moment of the one thousand nine hundred ninety s when the united states was utterly dominant through that decade it could cut its defense spending as a percentage of gdp only to emerge in a more unrivalled position then ever before by the end of the decade. Well the rest of the world has not caught up but other countries have asserted themselves and china. Most of all has dramatically risen economically With military growth to match its its economic growth. So i think that you know most people in washington even if they don't agree with some what i write understand that real change is necessary in the united states cannot possibly continue to be the guarantor of about half of the world against the other half of the world where most of humanity are thus turning that into explicit or implicit threats. Stephen wertheim. I wanted to ask you about what's about to happen on wednesday. That's the biden putin summit in geneva in a new interview on nbc Putin criticized the united states for placing troops near the russian border. Imagine that we send our troops into direct proximity to your borders. What would be your response. We didn't do that. We did it in our territory. You conducted war games in alaska. Well god bless you but you crossed an ocean. Close borders brought thousands of personnel thousands of units of military. And yet you believe that. We are acting aggressively in somehow. You're just looking calling the kettle black new respond to this. And also this back and forth you know president biden calling putin killer Then nbc asked a putin about that. He laughed and then when biden was asked about. Putin laughing biden laughed. Well i do think that both leaders are somewhat toning down there. Rhetorical barrages in advance of their summit. And that's probably a good thing. I do want to give credit to the biden administration and the president in particular For staunchly defending the value of diplomacy and making a point that the the point of diplomacy is to meet with leaders of countries with whom we have issues otherwise we can pack it up in terms of our diplomacy. So that's exactly right and he's trying to kind of to tone down. The the i would say overheated rhetoric and personal rhetoric toward latimer putin. I hope that this summit will prove productive beyond the symbolism which is not without value itself but a broader pattern. I think needs to be considered of us policy where indeed the united states has placed troops and made defense commitments that now span most of europe Going right up to the borders of russia in the cases of the baltics and with ukraine having a path a potential path towards membership in a us led nato alliance and it isn't surprising and indeed was predicted by many people left and right and center back in the nineteen ninety s when nato expansion was i put on the table and i endorsed the senate in one thousand nine hundred. Ninety eight held the vote to admit the first three new members of nato. It was predicted at that time. By many people piece in yesterday's new york times sites the minnesota senator paul wellstone that the expansion of nato would be seen by russia could could not be seen otherwise by russia except as a a threat to itself even if that for some period of time it wouldn't have the capacity to respond given its economic travails in the wake of the collapse of the soviet union and that expansion has been taken. I fear too far. And so we've created a kind of self fulfilling prophecy and this is not to defend many of the actions that russia has taken including the annexation of crimea. Its support for separatists in the boss region of ukraine but you know wise Diplomats and political leaders will understand how other countries view their vital interests and listen to those countries when they repeatedly Make clear what those vital interests are. So i fear that we've set ourselves on a path of a self fulfilling prophecy in generating conflict. And what i worry about. Is that if we if the united states in particular doesn't break this pattern it sets us l. up for the next two three decades my lifetime my children's lifetime to be at best involved in intense standoffs with russia and china and perhaps others around the world and at worst it sets us up of four great power war for world war. Three is that really. What the american people need for the rest of the twenty first century historian stephen worth. Hi mona thank you for being with us. Director of grand strategy at the quincy and visiting faculty fellow at the center for global legal challenges. Yale law school will link to your piece in the new york times.

Couple years. that We have a new challenges and we have Russia that is not acting in a way that is consistent with what we had hoped and As well as china president biden spoke alongside nato secretary general jens stoltenberg who also criticized china.

Nato leaders cold on sign on to up all its international commitments and to act responsibly. In the national system including in space cyber on maritime domains in keeping with its role as a major power the chinese mission to the european union responded to the nato summit by saying nato is slandering china's peaceful development and misjudging the international situation and its own role. That's end quote today. President biden's meeting with european union leaders before heading to geneva for his summit with russian president vladimir putin. We're joined now by the historian. Stephen wertheim director of grand strategy at the quincy institute and visiting faculty fellow at the center for global legal challenges at yale law. School author the book tomorrow. The world. The birth of the us global supremacy. He has a new article in the new york. Times headlines. sorry liberals. But you really shouldn't love nato welcome to democracy now. Stephen wartime Why don't you talk about the summit. This i ever hit on china and the way it was framed. And the communique is president biden leading to a new cold war both with china and russia. It's nice to be with you. I am concerned that the administration may be moving toward quite hostile a quite hostile posture towards china and russia simultaneously. If it is doing so it would be merely continuing trend from the trump administration. I must say That said though. I think you are right to spotlight. What was most remarkable about the outcome of yesterday's nato summit namely the identification of china as posing quote unquote systemic challenges to the so-called rules based international order. I do think it's actually quite worrying. As far as the european members of nato are concerned europe has for quite some time been reluctant to cast china as a threat for understandable reasons. Many europeans including the leading powers of germany and france. Don't want to make a choice economically or otherwise between the united states and china or between the united states and russia and it has been the united states that has been most concerned about the threats from both countries. And so i think the nato communique reflects nato's desire to at least look like the european members are as concerned about china as the united states but to the extent that the united states will indeed focus on competition with china in the longer term that heralds a turn toward asia and therefore away from europe and stephen worth. I wanted to ask you about this. Whole issue of the systemic or challenge of the last time i looked the united states had eight hundred military bases and installations in about seventy countries around the world and apparently china only has four military bases anywhere in the world. They've got one in argentina. They've got a small one in djibouti. Which is part of the whole international campaign against piracy. They've got one in me and more and they've got one in two gca. Stan doesn't sound like much of a threat to nato or to the united states and yet not even mentioning turkey has expanded all kinds of military bases as a member of nato all around the world in recent years. So why is this obsession with a president of the us whether it's a biden or trump in continuing to paint china a some kind of a threat not an economic competitor which it is a growing economic competitor. But as a threat. Well it is worrying for the reason you say the language of systemic competition and challenge to the rules-based international order seems to lump all of the issues that china's rise throws up. It lumps them together into one thing that seems to require a response in every domain but china's record militarily is vastly different from that of even the united states over the last few few decades. I'm i'm sorry to say. It's not china that has scattered its troops all around the world on bases as you say or pursued missions to overturn regimes. China's behavior is very worrying a lot of respect. And i do actually think that the united states and europe have a lot to cooperate on in terms of setting standards for technologies for digital to set rules economically that might constrain chinese action to cooperate on climate change. There's plenty of things for the united states and europe to do together bats valuable and that will to some degree constrain chinese action. And that's a good thing. But nato is a military alliance we have to remember that and so for nato to be casting china in this way suggests that it does view china as something of a threat although the nato communique was careful to to use the word threat toward russia but to use the lesser less intense word challenge when.

"stephen worth" Discussed on Serve to Lead | James Strock
"There were both presidents of the american historical association. Now i could look at recent presidents irrespective of party. I couldn't imagine them following a meeting of the american historical association almost much less being president. What do you think about that. Well sometimes i confess. I have trouble following some meetings in the american historical association. But i very much take your point you know. There is a common invocation of history. It american foreign policy. It's just superficial. There's been a lot of discussion in the past five. Ten years about the so-called postwar. Us lead rules-based rules-based liberal international order almost entirely aim to say how terrible it was that donald trump supposedly stood against it. When really hardly anyone could define what this was and then if you would read descriptions of this supposed order it would include institutions like the eu created in the nineteen nineties in that order You know nato is created after the un is that just a million problems one. What has with it so Bef- we don't just need more history. That would be nice but we need to have a real openness to the richness that history properly understood can provide us. It should be mind opening and often makes doesn't have easy lessons not the simplistic lessons That suddenly become the talking points of of of of the day and even words contested the very contesting of that can be valuable and we just simply for the moment seemed to be turning our back on it. Let's enclosing stephen worth. You obviously have so much to think about your written a brilliant and beautiful new book and by the way it's very attractively designed as well as written so beautifully. Is there anything. You'd like to leave our listeners. With today why hope your listeners judge the book by its cover so go look it up tomorrow. The world the birth of us global supremacy My words don't do justice to the beautiful cover. You're absolutely right. And i had nothing to do with that cover but More seriously i hope that Listeners will find it to be Enjoyable read and one that is illuminating. Whatever they make of it. I think it's possible to read this book. I made a lot of discoveries in in archives. It's i think it's probably impossible to to read the book and not learn something you hadn't done before and I think it's possible to read the book and come to the conclusion well maybe. Us leadership military leadership was Important and necessary thing. But i hope you'll think about why that was if that was the In its original moment in the middle of the twentieth century and whether going forward.
