China, Russia, Iran, North Korea: Inside the Axis of Aggressors, Part 2

[intro music] Hello, everyone.

I'm Bill Roggio.

I'm a senior fellow at Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of FDD's Long War Journal.

This is Generation Jihad, the podcast that covers all things in what used to be known as the global war on terror, but we now call the long war.

This is part two of my discussion with Brad Bowman and Ryan Brookes on the book Axis of Aggressors: Countering the Cooperation of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

Brad co-wrote this book with our FDD colleagues Elaine Dezenski and Mark Montgomery.

Bradley Bowman serves as the senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, where he focuses on U.S. defense strategy and policy.

Brad has served as a national security advisor to members of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, as well as an active duty U.S. Army officer.

He s- where he served as a Blackhawk pilot, and Brad also was an assistant professor at West Point.

Ryan Brookes serves as the deputy director of the Center on Military and Political Power at FDD.

His research focuses on U.S. defense strategy and policy, including U.S. military posture, the defense industrial base, arms transfers, military exercises, and security cooperation with allies and partners in the Middle East, Europe, and East Asia.
