I must admit that I'm a closet imperialist and would love to see the Philippines be a future state of the US along with her twin sisters Puerto Rico and Cuba. How does one even begin organize for something like that, rather than wishful thinking?
Since it appears that Trump is going ahead with a pro Russia peace agreement without much input from Europe or most importantly Ukraine, is there a continuing insurgency within Ukraine that will not accept it and what does a post perceived sell-out peace look like in Ukraine?
Interested in any elaboration you'd like to offer on your analysis of Customs and Border Protections capability gaps (in light of current context) and especially on best practices and/or words of caution for institutional fusions between DoD and CPB.
Philip, I would need a more specific question on this one to respond intelligently. I did that paper as part of a government contract bid several years ago and can't claim any great new insights since because the firm I was with didn't win (we lost out to Darden School of Biz at UVA -- go figure).
Where you differ from Peter Zeihan's predictions of China's demographic collapse? How would you characterize the biggest gap between the two of you WRT China?
I've been a long time follower of you; from your Pentagon's New Map days and watched all those presentations several times over. Glad to see you're getting back in the game - at least from a public perspective.
you've been writing about radical acceptance of late, is there a "radical acceptance" to be had on security in Europe right now... and your prognosis on that actually taking place
What are the root causes of Russia treating its people as disposable cannon fodder for the ruling elite? My grandparents escaped certain death under the Czar, but the same patterns persist today. Why do these tendencies seem to be spreading in America?

How do you see the three trends in ANM playing out in the Southern Hemisphere below "the Middle Earth" belt?
[Land mass, international links, suggest the above play out differently than in the north...?]
So most American Institutions are paralyzed by Trump, does Europe take the opportunity to be the world’s leader (like they were in 1820 - 1914)?
