THE NEW MAD: MASSIVE ATTACKS OF DISRUPTION - A virtual discussion on the various security challenges that major non-traditional threats represent for the United States, based on Dr. Harlan Ullman’s new book, The Fifth Horseman and the New MAD.
While much focus is paid to the traditional threats posed by states such as China and Russia and non-state actors employing violent extremism, the United States and its partners and allies face more consequential immediate consequences from “massive attacks of disruption.” The Covid-19 pandemic, the January 6 insurrection, SolarWinds cyber attacks, the Texas storms that cut power, and the blocking of the Suez Canal are all examples of the types of disruptions that threaten US security. How can the United States organize and prepare to deal with these consequences of increased interconnectedness?
