(‘Alternate Shots’ with Richard Haass and John Ellis. Episode #17. Recorded 2.16.2026. Produced by Dale Eisinger. If you prefer, you can listen to this episode (and all the previous episodes) on Apple, Amazon, Spotify and most of the other major podcast platforms).
In this episode of ‘Alternate Shots’, Richard Haass and I start our conversation with the recent Munich Security Conference (MSC). Richard has been to the MSC time and again, so he gives you a good sense of what it’s like, what transpires, the make-up of the attendees.
(Sidebar: click on this link if you want to get a two-word summary of how the Europeans who attended the MSC view the state of “the Western alliance”).
