LISTEN AND LEARN FROM THE NIDS TEAM OF DETERRENCE PRACTITIONERS AND EXPERT GUESTS
About the show
The NIDS View is meant to give listeners inside access to the thoughts and ideas of the member-practitioners of NIDS including our Fellows, Analysts, and Interns. For each episode we pick a current deterrence topic and have a cordial, exciting and sometimes funny discussion. Each episode is a stand-alone topical and is expected to increase awareness of deterrence thinking, expand the next generation of deterrence professionals, and prepare the workforce whose mission is to ensure peace, security, and stability.
NEW!
Send questions to our NIDS team of experts at ASK_NIDS@Thinkdeterrence.com and we will answer them on the show.
Episodes are released weekly on Wednesday.
