RSF'25: Europe and the United States: Perceiving Threats and Responsibilities Equally?
šThis episode interrogates a central question: do Europe and the United States perceive contemporary security threats and global responsibilities in comparable ways, or are their strategic outlooks increasingly diverging? It further asks how both sides interpret challenges such as Russian aggression, Chinaās systemic rise, and emerging technological vulnerabilities, and what these differing assessments mean for defence planning. Finally, the discussion considers whether current debates on burden-sharing, European strategic autonomy, and NATOās evolving mandate reflect converging expectations- or widening transatlantic asymmetries.
Guests:
Latika M. Burke: Journalist & Author covering geopolitics, national security, and defence; Writer-at-Large for The Nightly via The Sydney Morning Herald, ABC, and 2UE Radio;
Dr. Sandis Å rÄders: Senior Researcher, Latvian Institute of International Affairs; Board Member, Latvian Transatlantic Organisation.
Moderator:
Sigita Struberga: Secretary General, Latvian Transatlantic Organisation.
