On today’s program, sponsored by HII, Sam Bendett of the Center for Naval Analyses and Dr. Eugene Rumer of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace discuss the Ukraine war as Russian redoubles efforts to make gains as President-election Trump vows to swiftly end the conflict, and whether Ukraine can survive without US assistance; and Byron Callan of the independent Washington research firm Capital Alpha Partners discusses the impact of a new Trump administration on US national security, whether control of the White House and Congress increases the prospect for more defense spending or deep cuts as part of a government-wide effort to trim $2 trillion in spending, and a look at the week ahead with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
