In this episode of The NIDS View, Jim and Curtis are joined by NIDS Senior Fellow Rob Maness to examine the changing global security landscape, from China’s expanding ambitions to Greenland’s strategic importance and growing challenges to U.S. sovereignty. The discussion highlights why “peace through strength” remains essential, how domestic vulnerabilities shape America’s global posture, and why effective deterrence requires both military readiness and political resolve. The episode also raises critical questions about NATO’s effectiveness, Arctic resources, and aligning U.S. foreign policy with national interests.
