SUMMARY:The Future on the Persian Gulf Security
DESCRIPTION:Is using military force a viable foreign policy option for 2021 and beyond?\nThe Persian Gulf remains tense as the rivalry between the regional powers of Saudi Arabia and Iran continues. Tensions escalated in early 2020 as the United States began to intervene in the Gulf\, launching an airstrike that killed two Iranian military commanders. What are the historical influences that have led to these tensions? What role\, if any\, should the United States play? Is using military force a viable foreign policy option for 2021 and beyond? This program is presented in cooperation with the World Affairs Council – Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky and OLLI at University of Cincinnati. \nThe group will enjoy a short film about this topic provided by the Foreign Policy Association’s Great Decision program.

SUMMARY:Global Supply Chains and National Security
DESCRIPTION:The shutdown of global supply chains due to the Covid-19 pandemic brought to the fore an issue with the high level of global economic interdependence: what happens when one country is the main source for an item\, say face masks\, and then can no longer supply the item? Countries suddenly unable to meet the demand for certain supplies are faced with growing calls for economic nationalism. What are some of the lasting effects that the pandemic could have on global supply chains and trade? How would this affect national security? \nGuillermo Malpica Soto has a long and distinguished career in Mexico’s Ministry of Economy.

SUMMARY:Disarray & Disaster in the Taliban's Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special\, exclusive event featuring Lt. Tom Schram\, a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer\, who specializes in the study and reporting on national security and political-economic events in China\, the Western Pacific\, the Middle East\, and Afghanistan. \nThursday\, November 18 at 6:30PM EST\nvia Virtual Zoom Presentation\nThe disaster and chaos in Afghanistan just keep getting worse. With the government unable to pay its bills\, the infrastructure crumbling\, the ruthless treatment of remaining Afghans who could not escape during the U.S./NATO airlift\, the ruling Taliban are finding it complex and difficult to govern and manage as they change from fighting a war to state building\, all in a failing economy with no workable financial system in place. \nThe Taliban’s approach to government has been and continues to be a strict Sharia law under a vicious theocracy. Their merciless approach to those not conforming exactly to these beliefs knows no mercy for those left behind following the U.S. departure. Women’s rights are almost non-existent. \nOur evening presentation will touch on the history of the region\, previous conquests\, topographic challenges\, war after 9/11\, the evacuation debacle and the poor planning decisions by National Command Authority. Last but not least\, our speaker will discuss the strategic implications for the U.S. and the world going forward. \n\nOur Presenting Guest Speaker\nTom Schram holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the United States Naval Academy\, Class of 1969. Tom also has an MBA degree in marketing and finance from the Shidler School of Business\, University of Hawaii. He was commissioned in the Navy’s Restricted Line and\nserved 7.5 years as a special intelligence officer in the Naval Security Group. He was stationed in both Japan and Okinawa while serving on multiple deployments. In 1973\, he was assigned to NSGA Anchorage\, AK as Executive Officer. He resigned his commission in late 1976. \nHis specialty was electronic intelligence collection while serving in the Naval Security Group. He played a role in the Saigon evacuation in 1975. After leaving the Navy\, he had an eclectic career starting with Procter & Gamble where he worked in manufacturing\, research & development\, advertising brand management\, and sales. He was a co-owner of an advertising agency that he helped grow from $2M/year in revenue to $12M over five years. He ran a ballistics research firm for eight years\, helped start a microbrewery and led an Internet security firm who had developed an unbreakable firewall. \nTom’s innovative approach in each of his endeavors led to patents and unique business opportunities. However\, he never lost his interest in discovering and publishing about world events. For the past twenty years\, he has been deeply involved in studying and reporting on geopolitical events around the world with special focus on the Middle East\, Afghanistan\, and China. His resurgence in learning about all things geopolitical began on 9/11/2001 when he lost his very close friend and USNA classmate in the South Tower of the World Trade Center during the attack on America. Most recently\, Tom played a direct role in assisting 757 Afghan refugees flee in the recent aftermath of the Taliban takeover and is now currently assisting another group of refugees who desperately need to evacuate Afghanistan.

SUMMARY:Role of International Organizations in a Global Pandemic
