Today on the show, Fareed is joined by former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis to discuss Ukraine’s stunning attacks on Russian airbases. 

Next, Christopher Kirchhoff, a top military strategist, speaks with Fareed about the future of warfare, and how the US needs to adapt to changing military technology and move on from models stuck in the past. 

Then, David Miliband, former British foreign secretary, has just returned from a trip to Syria where he met with the new President Al-Sharaa. He describes the challenges and the hope in the country as it emerges from more than five decades of repressive rule.
