    In Brief: What Xi Jinping's Military Purge Means for the West

    Chinese President Xi Jinping is firing top officials in the People’s Liberation Army at an unprecedented rate—is he preparing for an invasion of Taiwan, or simply worried about challenges to his leadership? On this week’s One Decision: In Brief, co-host Kate McCann joins former head of MI6 and host Sir Richard Dearlove to examine what’s actually happening in Beijing through the lens of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping. Sir Richard explains why Europe’s economic dependencies on China may be cause for national security concerns. Kate and Sir Richard also discuss what to look for in the coming week regarding potential US military intervention in Iran, and why the US’s focus on Greenland was a distraction from just that.

    In Brief: One Year of Trump 2.0 - What’s the Global Impact?

    Donald Trump ran his 2024 US presidential campaign vowing to be the “peace president.” Now one year into his second term, his tenure has been marked by global instability, and a return down the path towards American isolationism. This week on One Decision: In Brief, guest co-host and former Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh joins former head of MI6 and host Sir Richard Dearlove to discuss the shocks and surprises that have defined the geopolitical landscape of this past year. Sir Richard argues that Trump has acted as a catalyst towards the continued disintegration of Pax Americana, and worries that Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin puts an end to the war in Ukraine in jeopardy. Sabrina reflects on the shift in US foreign policy, from the closing of USAID, to joint strikes with Israel on Iran and a fragile ceasefire in the war in Gaza. Together, they explore what to watch for in the coming year, including AI technologies emerging as a strategic issue, the effects of Trump’s tariffs, the fate of the theocratic regime in Iran, Greenland, and the looming economic and military shadow of China.

    Why AI Is Making Espionage Much More Dangerous

    In this episode of One Decision, guest host Rosanna Lockwood and Sir Richard Dearlove, former Chief of MI6, are joined by Dr. Anthony Vinci, the former Chief Technology Officer and Associate Director of Capabilities at the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), as well as the author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America.

    In Brief: Why Greenland and Iran Matter to Trump

    On this episode of One Decision In Brief, guest host Rosanna Lockwood and Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, unpack the shifting landscape of U.S. foreign policy on Greenland and Iran. Rosanna questions whether the United States is abandoning 75 years of post-war foreign policy in favor of a return to regional hegemony and balance-of-power politics reminiscent of the pre-World War II era. Sir Richard outlines Greenland’s strategic importance, highlighting its critical geographic position between North America, Russia, and China, and addresses the controversy surrounding Trump’s comments about full ownership of the island. The discussion then shifts to Iran, as protests intensify and the regime comes under economic pressure. Sir Richard examines Iran’s vulnerabilities and argues that internal divisions within its security forces will more likely determine the regime’s future than U.S. involvement.

    Trump's Venezuela Raid. A Warning for Europe

    In this episode of One Decision, host Kate McCann and co-host Sir Ben Wallace, former UK Defence Secretary, speak with former US National Security Advisor to Kamala Harris, Philip Gordon. They dissect the Trump administration’s military actions in Venezuela, including the arrest of President Maduro, and also discuss the US’s threat to take control of Greenland and what these moves could mean for the future of global politics. Gordon begins by offering a candid explanation of what is really driving Donald Trump’s decisions and warns whether America is taking extraordinary risks without a credible plan for what comes next if its strategy fails. Gordon and Wallace argue that the United States is moving away from a rules-based international system and toward a “spheres of influence” approach, aligning the US more closely with the worldviews of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, and question the future of Western foreign policy. They also discuss Europe’s inadequate response, whether divisions between countries have made it hard for Europe to respond effectively, and what steps Europe could take to become less dependent on the U.S to better handle global conflict on its own.  Gordon closes with a discussion on the growth of public fatigue in the United States after decades of global leadership and considers whether this fatigue could limit America’s ability to reclaim its former international role in the post-Trump era.

    In Brief: How Trump Captured Maduro

    On this week’s One Decision In Brief, host Kate McCann is joined by co-host and former UK Defence Secretary Sir Ben Wallace to examine the fallout of the United States’ military raid in Caracas, Venezuela, which led to the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Sir Ben explains the military execution of the operation, why it achieved its goals, and how it differs from past conflicts with China or Russia. Kate and Ben also consider whether the move points to a wider strategic approach by Donald Trump or to a greater desire to use similar tactics against other countries. The discussion explores the potential consequences for Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland, as well as Europe's response. They question whether the UK and its allies are showing enough strength and determination, and why Greenland could become a new point of tension between Europe, the United States, and Russia.
