On February 21, Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative senior advisor and Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Thomas Warrick interviewed live with Cairo-based news channel al-Ghad al-Arabi, to discuss a same-day televised Russian national security meeting. Warrick criticized the Russian broadcast as political theater, and not an indication of Putin’s actual military intentions.
Forward Defense develops and shapes policy solutions that build US military power to deter war and secure the future.
