246: War & Peace with General John Allen

<div>James and Al game out Trump’s prosecution, reluctantly give credit to Speaker Johnson, and castigate the SCOTUS, before welcoming retired General John Allen to discuss our place in world affairs.  They look at the effects of the foreign aid package, how to continue to support our allies, and the next phase of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars.  Their analysis also dives into the evolving duties of the Marine Corps, how warfare is waged on the information battlefield, the challenges that define our relationship with China, and the role of risk and vulnerability in successful diplomacy.  <br /><br />Email your questions to James and Al at <a href="mailto:POLITICSWARROOM@GMAIL.COM">politicswarroom@gmail.com</a> or tweet them to<a href="http://www.twitter.com/@politicon"> @politicon</a>.  Make sure to include your city, we love to hear where you’re from!<br /><br /><strong>Watch James Carville Explains on YouTube </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8CmBcr1ock&amp;list=PLIMaYVqnSs69pLbnSb_2FkHVAoIPznxsC"><strong>Playlist</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>James Carville &amp; Al Hunt have launched the </strong><a href="http://www.politicswarroom.com/"><strong>Politics War Room Substack</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>Get More From This Week’s Guest:</strong><br /><br /><strong>General John Allen:</strong><br /><a href="https://www.defense.gov/About/Biographies/Biography/Article/602794/">Defense.gov</a> | <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/experts/john-r-allen/">Brookings Institution</a> | <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/medialibrary/assets/photo/29197">DHS.gov</a> | <a href="https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/1576683/john-j-allen-jr/">AF.mil</a> | <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/book/turning-point/">Author of “Turning Point”</a> | <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/books/future-war-and-the-defence-of-europe/">Author of “Future War”</a><br /><br /><strong>Please Support Our Sponsors:</strong><br /><br /><strong>Lomi:</strong><br />Turn your food waste into plant-food at the press of a button with Lomi.
