In this episode of Strategic Wisdom with Andrew Jose, we examine how veterans of the War on Terror are continuing to impact U.S. defense policy, even after leaving the battlefield. As a record number of these veterans enter Congress, they are influencing key areas like national security, veterans' healthcare, and foreign policy.
Host Andrew Jose speaks with Jeffrey Lantis, author of Staying in the Fight: How War on Terror Veterans in Congress Are Shaping US Defense Policy. Lantis, a professor of political science at The College of Wooster, explores the shared experiences and socialization of these veterans, which drive policy convergence despite political differences.
Listen in as they discuss the motivations behind Lantis’ latest book, the model he creates to explain veterans' influence on defense policy, and the idea that shared experiences like military service could help bridge political polarization

As more and more migrants immigrate to the United States and immigrants—particularly those lacking a Judeo-Christian background—sire their own children, the emergence of parallel societies has increasingly become a significant concern in the United States as the country's history and identity come under attack from revisionists within.
In cities like Dearborn and Hamtramck, Michigan, unassimilated immigrant communities have reshaped local culture and politics, raising questions about America's identity and unity.
Are we headed toward a divided America, split along cultural and ethnic lines?
In this episode of Strategic Wisdom, Andrew Jose speaks with Joseph Ford Cotto, author of What Happened to America?: How—and Why—the American Dream Became a Nightmare.
Together, they discuss the rise of parallel societies in the U.S., the challenges of assimilation, and what this trend means for national security. They also explore whether America can find common ground or if cultural divides will continue to grow.

A seasoned litigator and expert in nuclear weapons law, Professor Moxley is the author of the influential work, Nuclear Weapons and International Law: Existential Risks of Nuclear War and Deterrence through a Legal Lens Volumes I-II.
He brings decades of experience and a wealth of knowledge to this critical discussion, exploring the legal, ethical, and humanitarian implications of nuclear weapons.
Listen in as Jose and Moxley tackle key questions: Are nuclear weapons inherently unlawful? What are the limitations of current non-proliferation efforts, and what might a future global treaty banning nuclear weapons look like?

One of Hamas’ stated objectives, when the Palestinian militant outfit launched the October 7, 2023, attacks against southern Israel, was to derail the Abraham Accords normalization process between Israel and Arabs.
Has Hamas succeeded in the objective, as Israel’s war with the militant group entered its tenth month earlier this month?
What challenges has Israel’s “Operation Swords of Iron” brought to the Abraham Accords?
How has the Biden-Harris administration undermined and neglected the Accords, and what must a future Republican administration and Israel do to fix any damage the normalization process suffered due to the Palestinian attack on October 7?
To answer these questions, Andrew Jose, host of Strategic Wisdom with Andrew Jose and the Andrew Jose Show, sat down with Aryeh Lightstone, former U.S. Special Envoy for Economic Normalization and one of the architects of the Abraham Accords. Aryeh is the author of the book Let My People Know: The Incredible Story of Middle East Peace―and What Lies Ahead.

Can Russia's relations with the Western world be structured in cycles?
20th-century Russian philologist Vadim Tsymbursky thought so when he came up with what would be known as Tsymburskian cycles—a set of five moves ranging from alliance to confrontation and resistance against the West.
However, Tsymburksy did not take into account the domestic politics factor in his original theorization of the cycles—a gap that Gordon Hahn fills in his essay for Russia In Global Affairs titled "Neo-Tsymburskian Cycles in the History of Russian-Western Relations."
Gordon Hahn is an expert analyst at Corr Analytics ,a New-York-based political risk advisory firm. Hahn is a notable scholar of politics, international relations, and Islamist terrorism in Russia and Eurasia. He is the author of The Russian Dilemma: Security, Vigilance, and Relations with the West from Ivan III to Putin, and Ukraine Over the Edge: Russia, the West, and the “New Cold War.” Hahn’s most recent book is 'Russian Tselostnost’: Wholeness in Russian Culture, Thought, History, and Politics.
Gordon has previously taught at Boston University, American University, and Stanford University. He also served as a visiting fellow at the Kennan Institute in Washington, DC, and the Hoover Institution.
In this episode of Strategic Wisdom with Andrew Jose, I sat down with Hahn to discuss his neo-Tsymburksian cycles and how they can explain Russia's current predicament in Ukraine and the future of Russia's relations with the occident.
During our conversation, we discussed ontological security, the origins of Western and Russian discontent with relations between each other, and how the West can have more stable respect-based ties with Moscow.

In the middle of June 2024, Russia signed a comprehensive mutual partnership agreement with North Korea.
As Russia's relations with the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea grow in light of Moscow's isolation from the Western-centric world, how will the global nuclear non-proliferation regime be affected?
For this episode, I sat down with Professor Peter Kuznick, the Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University. Dr. Kuznick and I discussed the implications of Russia's new alliance with North Korea, the escalating NATO-Russia tensions over Ukraine, and the potential for a nuclear showdown.
We also discussed the Taiwan Strait crisis and how Washington's policies in the South China Sea could turn Taiwan into another Ukraine as China feels its claims on the island are undermined. The professor and I also explored why the current nuclear non-proliferation regime in the world has failed.
Kuznick ends by providing the next generation of leaders with his advice for how they should run the world they will inherit from their predecessors when they come to positions of power and influence.

Under President Joe Biden, the southern border has seen an unprecedented surge in unauthorized entries. In his first year alone, the U.S. Border Patrol encountered over 1.6 million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border—more than four times the previous year's figures and the highest annual total ever recorded.
This immigration catastrophe has sparked fierce debate, with Democrats downplaying the threat and Republicans, particularly those on the fringes, overplaying it. But beyond the staggering numbers, the U.S. faces severe risks from these enormous waves of illegal migrants, including transnational criminals, potential terrorists, and immense strain on resources.
To understand the origins and consequences of Biden's disastrous border policy, I sat down with Todd Bensman, Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.

As tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah reach a boiling point, how likely is it that Israel will mount an invasion of Lebanon to end the threat Hezbollah poses to its northern regions?

UNRWA and the UNHRC. These are two organs of the United Nations that are supposed to uphold the UN's values, as enshrined in its charter. Instead, UNRWA has become a hotbed for terrorism sympathizers and UNHRC—a tool of lawfare wielded by authoritarian states to target Israel while shielding themselves from criticism. Has the UN failed in its mandate? Is their hope for the organization, or are countries better off withdrawing from it and/or its organs? Learn more through my interview with Daniel Smith of UN Watch, a Geneva-based watchdog that seeks to hold the United Nations accountable.

In this episode, I sat down with Latin America expert Juan Pablo Villasmil, an Intercollegiate Studies Institute editorial fellow with The Spectator, to discuss an America First approach to the United States' immediate neighborhood. We looked at how America can better fight adversarial encroachment in its backyard, bolster relations with countries in the region, and secure critical minerals. We also examined the impact the rise of leftist politicians in the region will have on America's regional ambitions and how America must move past an activist foreign policy in its dealings with its southern neighbors. Lastly, Villasmil and I discussed his upcoming seminar series, "An America First Approach To Our Hemisphere."
