Everyone Got Pete Hegseth Wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Get audio access with any FP subscription. While I’ve done a decent job of predicting the overall arc of U.S. President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, I’ve also gotten some things profoundly wrong. For example, I—like many in Washington—thought we were headed into a new period of tension and competition with China. Worse, I told a journalist last year that I didn’t think Trump wanted a war with Iran, a mistake that has prompted me to reconsider not just Trump’s approach to Iran, but my understan

The Aspen Security Forum Is the Land Time Forgot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1974 film The Land That Time Forgot, the crew of a British ship torpedoed by a German U-boat in World War I crash upon the shores of a mysterious island.

At last week’s Aspen Security Forum, the dinosaurs were certainly less wond
