Greatness and Responsibility

America and the world after the election of Trump: This is the general topic of Jay’s “Q&A” with John Hillen – who is, as Jay says, a soldier, scholar, businessman, athlete, and, in a word, hombre. Their specific topics are Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Europe, NATO, Japan, South Korea, the U.S. military, NAFTA, freedom, and so on.

As Hillen pointed out to Jay, after the podcast, Churchill had a word to America when our nation was on the ascendant, internationally: “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Clearly a theme of our time.

    Jay, this was a great podcast, I’m very happy to hear such well-grounded opinions about military and foreign policy issues.  When it comes to most of our allies and alliances, what’s good for the world is good for America.  I only hope that someone near Trump will remind him of this.

    During the time he was at State, I may have worked with some of his subordinates, since I was at a joint command managing issues related to Japan.
