Great interview of James Stavridis on NPR today.

For those who don't know, Stavridis is a retired Navy admiral who was NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe. Very smart guy, and there was talk in 2016 of him being in a potential Clinton administration. I would be glad to see him serve under Biden in some capacity. He has several lectures and interviews on YouTube, and I highly recommend listening to him.

In a 2012 Ted Talk (four years before Trump), he said, "Instead of building walls to create security, we need to build bridges."
