Brussels Sprouts from the NATO Public Forum on NATO's Ability to Fight Russia and the Importance of the European Pillar

By: Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend

As you might now from our last episode, At the NATO Public Forum in July, Brussels Sprouts roamed the halls of the Marriot Marquis hotel in DC interviewing Public Forum guests and attendees on the key issues that were being discussed both at the Forum, and next door at the historic 75th anniversary NATO Summit.

In our last episode we heard about the mood of the Summit, it’s successes and those areas where it fell short, and about the unsung deliverables-or important outcomes that didn’t get the attention they deserved.

In this episode we’ll hear from conference participants about the alliance’s readiness for a conflict with Russia and on the need to strengthen the European pillar within NATO.

Tune in for:

Steve Flanagan, adjunct senior fellow at the RAND Corporation

Damon Wilson, president and CEO of the National Endowment for Democracy

Beth Sanner, a resident distinguished fellow at GMF

Camille Grand, Distinguished Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
