In this interview with Emma Ashford, we dig into why Greenland suddenly matters, how the Arctic is becoming a central arena for global competition, and what all of this means for NATO, the United States, and its allies. Like all of my interviews, this conversation is meant to be a place where you’ll hear fair, honest, and direct thinking from people who truly know the subject, without talking points or ideological spin. The goal is to offer context and clarity you don’t often find elsewhere, grounded expert insight that helps make sense of what’s actually happening in the world and why it matters.
Emma is a leading expert on international security and geopolitics. She is a Senior Fellow with the Reimagining U.S. Grand Strategy program at the Stimson Center, where her work focuses on grand strategy, international security, and the future of U.S. foreign policy. She has deep expertise in the politics of Russia, Europe, and the Middle East, is a columnist at Foreign Policy, and serves as an adjunct assistant professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University.
