“The security challenges the U.S. confronts are spread across the globe and are as complex as any the country has faced since infancy.”
That’s from the introduction to a new book called "Rise of the Revisionists: Russia, China and Iran," which looks at the threats posed by those countries and how the United States could respond.
Gary Schmitt is the editor and a contributing author of the book. He’s a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and co-director of the Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies.
Schmitt joined The Show to discuss how much of where we find ourselves now is because of American policy and actions and how much was out of U.S. control.
