The Burn Bag Podcast is excited to launch a special collaboration with The Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Center for Security and Strategy, where we highlight the contributions to the Scowcroft Center's "100 Ideas for the First 100 Days" project. This inaugural episode in this new mini-series features an introductory conversation with the Center's Director Barry Pavel, where we discuss the Center's mission and the inspiration for this project. We then dive into the first two contributions in the mini-series, as we hear thinking on some of the biggest challenges facing the Biden Administration from General David Petraeus and Ambassador Daniel Fried. General Petraeus discusses his idea, "Scope US Forces’ Involvement in ‘Endless’ Mideast Wars" while Ambassador Fried talks about why the U.S. needs to "Push Back On Putin’s Aggression; Cooperate If We Can".
