ANI’s Saltwater Strategists podcast series.
Title: Strategy, history & geography: The key to bolstering Australian regional defence collaboration?
In the final Saltwater Strategists episode for season 1, ANI Councillor Simon Walstrom talks with Professor John Blaxland from the Australian National University, who is respected for his views and thoughts on domestic and regional defence, security and intelligence issues in the Indo-Pacific region.
Simon and John discuss and debate the events or “Zeitenwende” of 2022 and the possible implications for 2023, including the ongoing Ukraine war, recent defence collaborative agreements and the pending Defence Strategic Review publication here in Australia. John offers an insight into what history can and cannot teach us as we enter another year that will no doubt create a series of turning points for the stability of regional and world order. Most importantly the efforts on both sides to prepare for the hypothesised less than 3 year window we are now faced with to counter or deter the Chinese ambition of reclaiming Taiwan.
