Gen. David H. Petraeus has spent a lifetime thinking about war — how it’s fought, how it ends, and how it reshapes the world that follows. In a conversation with New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, hear him take stock of a volatile moment: the conflict involving Iran, the US, and Israel, what it signals for the future of the region, the war between Russian and Ukraine, and what it means for the balance of global power.
Drawing on his experience as a four-star general and former CIA director, Petraeus offers a clear-eyed view of the strategic realities at play — where miscalculation is a constant risk, and where today’s decisions may echo for decades. Stephens, a sharp and probing interlocutor, presses on the political stakes at home and abroad, asking what this conflict reveals about the scope and limits of American influence.
Don’t miss this candid, deeply informed exchange that cuts through the noise for a clear-eyed exploration of the world’s military hot spots including Russian/Ukraine and future of the Middle East: Iran’s ambitions, Israel’s security concerns, what it means for America’s shifting alliances, and the ripple effects across the world.
