McMaster) and Distinguished Policy Fellow Bill Whalen to discuss China's desire and ability to project power, its manufacturing capability, its suppression of individual liberties, and the durability of Xi Jinping's rule.

Hoover Institution senior fellow Niall Ferguson (Niall Ferguson) joins this episode of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson (Peter Robinson) to discuss the war and ongoing stalemate in Ukraine; the Trump administration's foreign policy and negotiations with Russia; and the broader geopolitical landscape, including the shift in Europe's defense posture as the US signals a reduced commitment to NATO. Throughout the conversation, Ferguson explores historical analogies to understand Ukraine's position better, using comparisons to South Korea and South Vietnam. He discusses China's backing of Russia and its role in what he calls Cold War II, highlighting the long-term implications of this growing alliance. The discussion also covers the shock strategy deployed by President Trump and Vice President JD Vance to pressure Europe into taking more responsibility for its defense, a move that Ferguson believes has finally awakened European leaders to their countries' security needs. Beyond Ukraine, the conversation shifts to the larger economic and military vulnerabilities of the United States, particularly in relation to China. Ferguson argues that America is no longer in a position of overwhelming strength and draws parallels between the US today and Britain in the 1930s: both as declining empires facing an emboldened adversary. He warns that while Trump's realpolitik approach may be a necessary adaptation to America's strategic limitations, its success remains uncertain. The discussion ultimately raises the question of whether this strategy will prevent a major conflict or, conversely, accelerate the decline of American global primacy.

"Any great power that spends more on interest payments on its debt than on defence will not be great for long." Niall Ferguson explains at ARC 2025 that worryingly the US now falls into this category and that this "sends a signal of weakness" to the "axis of ill will".
