Please join the Impossible State Live Podcast on the 2026 National Defense Strategy (NDS) and its implications for the Korean Peninsula. The NDS calls for U.S. allies to take primary responsibility for regional threats with the United States providing only critical but limited support. What does that mean for South Korea and any future response to North Korean threats?

In this episode, they discuss the key elements of the 2026 NDS, its implications for the Korean Peninsula, the utility of sanctions on North Korea, and more.

Moderated by Dr. Victor Cha, the episode features Adam Farrar, Senior Associate (Non-resident) with the Korea Chair, Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Program at CSIS, and Igor Khrestin, Senior Advisor of the Global Policy at the George W. Bush Institute.

This event is made possible by the generous support of CSIS.
