Description
Instructions on how to join this meeting will be sent the day before the program.
The Coronavirus pandemic has reshuffled American views of our priorities – both personally and nationally. One of those is the way we view national security. As the $2 trillion stimulus package makes clear, the cost of fighting the pandemic and the coming recession will be enormous. Joe Cirincione argues that we cannot afford this increased government spending and still fund the Pentagon at the historically high levels reached since 9/11. We have to reprioritize government spending – and our entire concept of what constitutes a national security threat. Once we get through this emergency, we will need a long-term investment strategy aligned to the imperatives of the new world we face. Please join the World Affairs Council and Joseph Cirincione, the president of Ploughshares Fund, for a virtual brown bag lunch about national security in the age of pandemics.
