In this episode of Shifting Ground, hosts Larry Rubin and Rachel Whitlark are joined by Dr. Torrey Taussig, Director of the Transatlantic Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council, and Dr. Miranda Priebe, Director of the Center for Analysis of US Grand Strategy at RAND, to debate the future of the transatlantic alliance and the concept of “NATO 3.0.”
Drawing from both Taussig and Priebe’s recent commentaries for Orbis, the discussion explores whether the United States can responsibly retrench and reallocate resources to other theaters while European allies assume primary responsibility for conventional defense.
The guests examine the shifting threat environment, the geopolitical alignment of adversaries like Russia and China, and the strategic risk trade-offs surrounding American military commitments in Europe.
