In the conversation, David Petraeus gives his assessment of the war now, and describes the strategic and tactical failings of Russia compared to the heroic and masterful execution by Ukraine. He explains the woeful Russian execution of the war and possible next steps.
He continues by evaluating NATO cohesion, before discussing China, and why a mature conversation is essential between China and the West. He then discusses Iran, cyber security, businesses supply chains evolving from “just in time, to just in case”, to the dollar, the individual he would most like to meet, along with other potent insights.
