  • Summary

  • Ensuring the balance of power in Europe has, since the inception of our republic, been a core security interest for the US. Today, and for the entire post-Cold War period, the challenges to the European peace have emerged along the line running roughly from the Baltic to the Black Sea. This is what we call the Eastern Front. Our goal in this podcast is to better inform the American people about what’s going on there. Join us, Giselle Donnelly, Iulia Joja, and Dalibor Rohac every week on in our discussions on what’s next for “The Eastern Front.”
