President and CEO
John P. Walters is president and chief executive officer of Hudson Institute.
Co-Founder and Principal, Marathon Initiative
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues and China’s military buildup threatens Taiwan, the US is grappling with how to respond. Does supporting Ukraine undermine US and allied efforts to deter China? Or would propelling Ukraine to victory over Russia be a crucial first step to dismantling a new axis of revisionist powers in Eurasia?
Please join Hudson Institute for a debate between Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters and Marathon Initiative Co-Founder and Principal Elbridge Colby on whether Ukrainian victory is critically important for deterring war in Taiwan.
NATO members Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, and Poland have led the way in both backing Ukraine’s defense and bolstering their own capabilities. But no country has shown more courage and tenacity than Ukraine itself. These countries' parliamentary chairs will join Hudson’s Peter Rough to discuss what to look for at the Vilnius summit.
This event will discuss the failed policy of 2-percent inflation, the restoration of a true monetary base, checks and balances on the Federal Reserve, free market interest rates, and other fundamental reforms to America’s ailing money regime.
Please join Hudson Institute Asia-Pacific Security Chair Dr. Patrick Cronin for a conversation with Ambassador Fick on the intersection of strategy, technology, and diplomacy.
