Start: 2021-03-10 13:00:00 UTC Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada) (GMT-05:00)
This is a virtual event
The Biden administration is conducting a “Global Posture Review” meant
to ensure that the worldwide presence of U.S. military forces is
"appropriately aligned with our foreign policy and national security
priorities.” This review offers an opportunity to change the way the
United States deploys its forces, currently scattered on 800-some
overseas bases. Momentum is growing to close hundreds of those bases and
bring troops home, as proposed by experts across party lines in a new
open letter. Join a group of those experts on Wednesday, March 1o from
1-2 pm EST to discuss why the Biden administration should sunset
America's base empire and how to strengthen U.S. national security in
the process.
The panel will include David Vine, professor of political anthropology at American University and board member of the Costs of War Project; Christine Ahn, Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ; and John Glaser, director of foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. Quincy Institute President Andrew Bacevich will moderate.
