Question from Michael S. Barr, the former Joan and Sanford Weill Dean of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy:

I'd love to explore that theme a little bit more with you, as you know, this is the Vandenberg lecture, I want to explore themes that were important to Vandenberg. We were chatting earlier with Hank Meijer, and you know in Hank's about Vandenberg, he really has a wonderful description of the transformation of Vandenberg from a very staunch isolationist and a real partisan to somebody who worked very closely with FDR, with the administration on the whole post war order, NATO, Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, the engagement of the United States in the world. It's kind of hard to imagine that kind of dialogue today. How do you... Is there a chance and how would we pursue that chance to take this moment of pretty good bipartisan consensus on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and build out a more bipartisan consensus on foreign policy?
