  • >>WHAT ARE THE SECURITY THREATS

  • FACING THE UNITED STATES?

  • GENERAL STEPHEN CHENEY, CEO OF

  • THE AMERICAN SECURITY PROJECT,

  • HAS A LIST OF THE WORST ONES.

  • HE'LL DISCUSS THEM NEXT, ON

  • GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES.

  • THEME MUSIC

  • >>THIS IS GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES

  • WITH PULITZER PRIZE WINNING

  • COMMENTATOR, JOHN BERSIA.

  • >>WELCOME TO GLOBAL

  • PERSPECTIVES.

  • IN THE AFTERMATH OF TERRORIST

  • ATTACKS, AMERICANS ARE NATURALLY

  • MORE CONCERNED ABOUT NATIONAL

  • SECURITY.

  • GENERAL STEPHEN CHENEY, CEO OF

  • THE AMERICAN SECURITY PROJECT,

  • SPENDS HIS DAYS KEEPING TRACK OF

  • THREATS TO THE NATION.

  • WELCOME TO THE SHOW, GENERAL

  • CHANEY.

  • >>WELL, DR. BERSIA I'M SO GLAD

  • TO BE BACK.

  • >>TELL US ABOUT YOUR

  • MOTIVATIONS.

  • YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE

  • DEFENSE OF THE COUNTRY IN

  • VARIOUS WAYS; AS A MARINE NOW

  • WORKING WITH THE AMERICAN

  • SECURITY PROJECT.

  • WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING?

  • >>YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING.

  • WHEN YOU COME UP AS A JUNIOR

  • MARINE, JUNIOR OFFICER THROUGH

  • THE RANKS AT THE EARLY STAGES

  • YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE

  • TACTICAL SITUATION.

  • THE MORE SENIOR YOU GET, THE

  • MORE EDUCATED YOU GET, MORE

  • INVOLVED YOU GET.

  • AND YOU BEGIN TO REALIZE THAT

  • THERE'S A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE

  • HERE THAT YOU'RE SOME WHAT

  • APART OF.

  • AND I THINK I GO BACK PRETTY

  • MUCH TO THE TIME THAT I WAS

  • ASSIGNED TO THE OFFICE OF

  • SECRETARY DEFENSE AND I GOT

  • NOMINATED TO BE THE DEPUTY

  • EXECUTIVE SECRETARY TO THEN DICK

  • CHENEY, NO RELATION.

  • AND WE SAT DOWN AND CHATTED AND

  • WENT OVER THE FAMILY TREE-NO

  • RELATION.

  • BUT IT WAS THERE I GOT PRETTY

  • GOOD EXPOSURE TO WHAT WAS GOING

  • ON IN THE WORLD AND ACTUALLY SAT

  • NEXT TO HIM FOR INSTANCE WHEN

  • OUR TROOPS WENT INTO SOMALIA;

  • WATCHED IT ON T.V., INTERPRETED

  • FOR HIM WHAT THE VEHICLES WERE.

  • AND FROM THERE I GOT NOMINATED

  • TO BE A FELLOW AT THE COUNCIL ON

  • FORMER RELATIONS.

  • AND THAT REALLY SPURED MY

  • INTEREST IN THE RELATIONSHIP

  • BETWEEN THE DEFENSE

  • ESTABLISHMENT NATIONAL SECURITY

  • AND THE SECURITY OF OUR

  • COUNTRY-AND INTERNATIONAL

  • RELATIONS.

  • AND I HAVE FOLLOWED THAT THROUGH

  • EVER SINCE.

  • CULMINATING OF COURSE TODAY WITH

  • MY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE AMERICAN

  • SECURITY PROJECT.

  • SO THAT PART OF IT HAS STUCK

  • WITH ME.

  • I'VE BEEN VERY MUCH INVOLVED

  • IN.

  • AND I THINK MOST OF YOUR SENIOR

  • MILITARY FOLKS, PARTICULARLY THE

  • FLAG OFFICERS, UNDERSTAND THE

  • NATIONAL STRATEGY AND WANT TO

  • STAY INVOLVED.

  • >>TELL US ABOUT YOUR EARLY DAYS

  • AS A MARINE.

  • WHAT WERE YOUR CHALLENGES AND

  • WHAT WERE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES?

  • >>WELL YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE

  • RIGHT OUT OF-FOR MY CASE, RIGHT

  • OUT OF THE NAVAL ACADEMY AND YOU

  • GO TO WHAT THE MARINES CALLED

  • BASIC SCHOOL.

  • YOU GET ASSIGNED AN OCCUPATIONAL

  • SPECIALTY OR ARTILLERY IN MY

  • CASE.

  • AND THEN YOU GO OUT TO YOUR

  • UNIT.

  • MY FIRST UNIT WAS AT CAMP

  • PENDLETON.

  • IT WAS AN ARTILLERY BATTERY.

  • LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE FOCUSED ON

  • THE TACTICAL SITUATION.

  • BUT HERE'S AN INTERESTING

  • POINT, WE TRANSITIONED FROM WHAT

  • WAS CALLED THE 105 HOW IT

  • STARTED THE 155 MILLIMETER

  • HOWITZER.

  • THE 155 AT THAT TIME WAS NUCLEAR

  • CAPABLE.

  • AND THAT, WHEN I THINK BACK ON

  • THAT AS A YOUNG LIEUTENANT AND

  • CAPTAIN, TO HAVE THAT MASSIVE

  • AMOUNT OF POWER LITERALLY IN

  • YOUR HANDS.

  • YOU WENT TO A SCHOOL AND WERE

  • TAUGHT HOW TO BUILD THAT ROUND

  • AND THEN HOW TO PLAN TO SHOOT

  • IT.

  • AND I JUST THINK BACK ON IT.

  • I THINK AT THAT TIME IT WAS JUST

  • TACTICAL SITUATION.

  • IT WAS ANOTHER WEAPON IN YOUR

  • ARSENAL.

  • WHEN I THINK BACK ON IT NOW,

  • WHAT A TREMENDOUS CAPABILITY,

  • WHAT A HORRENDOUS CAPABILITY.

  • AND THEN I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH

  • APPRECIATION FOR THAT

  • PERSPECTIVE ON IT, THE NATIONAL

  • IMPLICATIONS ON IT.

  • OF COURSE, THE MARINES NOW HAVE

  • NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

  • THEY DON'T HAVE ANY TACTICAL

  • NUKES.

  • THE WHOLE U.S.

  • ARSENAL HAS SOME LIMITED

  • TACTICAL NUKES BUT THEY'RE

  • PRETTY MUCH ALL STRATEGIC.

  • BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THERE

  • THAT IN MY EARLY CAREER I SAID,

  • "WOW!

  • THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING

  • ELSE!"AND IT WAS PRETTY

  • EXCITING I WILL TELL YOU.

  • AND I MOVED FROM THAT FELW BACK

  • SEAT AN OV-10 AIR CRAFT.

  • BOTH AT CAMP PENDLETON AND IN

  • OKINAWA AND AT CAMP LEJEUNE;

  • REALLY ENJOYED THAT.

  • ENJOYED THE BACKSEAT FLYING

  • ASPECT OF IT.

  • AND THE MORE SENIOR YOU GET, THE

  • MORE COMMAND AND OPPORTUNITIES

  • YOU GET, GOT INVOLVED IN BOOT

  • CAMP.

  • COMMANDED BOTH AT SAN DIEGO AND

  • AT PARRIS ISLAND.

  • AND MY LAST JOB IN THE MARINE

  • CORP WAS COMMANDING GENERAL AT

  • PARRIS ISLAND WHICH I THINK WAS

  • THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD.

  • WORKING WITH-WE HAD 23,000 YOUNG

  • MEN AND WOMEN COME THROUGH THERE

  • A YEAR.

  • SO IT'S A BIG OPERATION.

  • >>WHAT'S THE BEST PART?

  • WHEN THEY ARRIVE, WHEN THEY

  • GRADUATE?

  • OR THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE?

  • >>WELL, JOHN, I DON'T THINK

  • THEY'D SAY THE BEST PART'S

  • WHEN THEY ARRIVE.

  • AND IT'S LEGENDARY WHEN YOU

  • SEE THEM GET OFF THE BUS AND THE

  • EYES SCREAMING AT THEM.

  • WHICH I NEVER MUCH CARED FOR TO

  • BE HONEST WITH YOU.

  • AND THEY PUT THEM ON YELLOW FOOT

  • PRINTS.

  • BUT THEY ALL KNOW WHAT'S

  • COMING.

  • TODAY, THEY'RE ALL VOLUNTEERS.

  • THEY'RE ALL HIGH SCHOOL

  • GRADUATES.

  • 99.9 PERCENT OF THEM.

  • THEY'RE ALL IN SHAPE.

  • WE HAVE A QUALITY, QUALITY YOUNG

  • MAN AND WOMEN COMING INTO ALL

  • THE MILITARY SERVICES TODAY.

  • BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, BY

  • FAR THE BEST PART'S

  • GRADUATION.

  • AND IF ANYBODY HAS NOT BEEN TO

  • GRADUATION EITHER AT SAN DIEGO

  • OR AT PARRIS ISLAND THEY DO 40

  • OR 42 A YEAR.

  • IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

  • THEY COME INTO A FULL FLEDGE

  • PARADE AND A MARCH AND THERE'S

  • A SPEECH BY THE BATTALION

  • COMMANDER.

  • BUT THE BEST PARTS THE END WHERE

  • THEY DROP THE ROPES AND IN SOME

  • CASES, FIVE OR SIX THOUSAND

  • PARENTS RUN ONTO THE PARADE DECK

  • TO FIND THEIR YOUNG MAN OR

  • WOMEN.

  • AND THE FUNNY PART IS, YOU KNOW

  • ALL THEIR HEADS ARE SHAVED,

  • THEY'RE ALL TRIMMED.

  • MIGHT'VE, A LOT OF THEM HAVE

  • LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT.

  • THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE JOHNNY.

  • AND WHEN THEY DO THEY'RE

  • ASTONISHED AT THE

  • TRANSFORMATION.

  • AND IT LITERALLY IS A

  • TRANSFORMATION.

  • >>SO MOVING FROM THAT WORLD INTO

  • THE WORLD OF POLICY AND RESEARCH

  • AND SO FORTH, HOW WAS THE

  • TRANSITION.

  • WAS IT EASY?

  • WAS IT DIFFICULT?

  • >>YOU KNOW, TO CONTINUE MY SAGA

  • OF MY CAREER AFTER BEING A

  • FELLOW AT THE COUCIL AND FOREIGN

  • RELATIONS IN NEW YORK CITY, I

  • WAS REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE I WAS

  • GOING OUT TO CAMP PENDLETON TO

  • COMMAND A REGIMENTAL SIZE UNIT.

  • AND OVER NIGHT MY ORDERS GOT

  • CHANGED AND I GOT SENT TO

  • CAPITAL HILL TO WORK THE

  • CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION,

  • MISSIONS OF THE ARMED SERVICES.

  • AND THAT OF COURSE IS ULTIMATE

  • POLICY.

  • HERE THE LAW MAKERS ARE GONNA

  • DECIDE THE FUTURE OF ALL THE

  • SERVICES.

  • THEY HAD A COMMITTEE, A

  • COMMISSION THAT WAS GOING TO SIT

  • THERE AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS

  • TO THE GOVERNMENT, TO THE

  • ADMINISTRATION THEN, AND TO

  • CONGRESS AND COULD VERY WELL

  • HAVE REORGANIZED HOW EVERYTHING

  • WAS GONNA TRANSPIRE.

  • COURSE I'M BEING A LITTLE

  • PAROCHIAL ABOUT THIS BUT WE WERE

  • DEFENDING OUR INTERESTS CLEARLY,

  • THE MARINE CORP WAS.

  • AND AT ONE TIME, THE AIR FORCE

  • WANTED TO GET RID OF ITS CLOSE

  • AIR SUPPORT MISSION AND GIVE IT

  • ALL, YOU READY?

  • TO THE MARINE CORP.

  • MARINE CORP HAS IT'S OWN CLOSE

  • AIR SUPPORT AND IS VERY PROUD OF

  • IT; DID NOT WANT TO ABSORB THE

  • AIR FORCES EITHER.

  • SO I MEAN, THAT LEVEL OF POLICY

  • WAS PRETTY INTERESTING TO ME AND

  • I'VE CARRIED THAT ON EVER

  • SINCE WITH MY RELATIONSHIP WITH

  • THE COUNCIL OF FORMER RELATIONS.

  • AND THEN I DID SOME WORK WITH

  • JOHN KERRY IN 2003,2004.

  • I ENDED UP BEING THE CHEIF

  • OPERATING OFFICER OF A

  • NON-PROFIT IN D.C.

  • AS A BUSINESS EXECUTIVE FOR

  • NATIONAL SECURITY WAS THE NAME

  • OF THE ORGANIZATION.

  • STAYED IN TOUCH WITH KERRY AND

  • HAGEL.

  • THEY FORMED THE AMERICAN

  • SECURITY PROJECT IN 2005 AND OF

  • COURSE I KNOW THE UNIVERSITY OF

  • CENTRAL FLORIDA IS WELL INVOLVED

  • AND UNDERSTANDS THAT BECAUSE YOU

  • WERE INVOLVED ALMOST SINCE THE

  • INCEPTION OF ASB.

  • THE FIRST UNIVERSITY PARTNER

  • THAT WE'VE EVER HAD AND IT'S

  • A GREAT RELATIONSHIP.

  • AND IT STAYED WITH ME AND THEN

  • IN 2011 I GOT CALLED AND ASKED

  • IF I WOULD BE THE CEO OF THE

  • ORGANIZATION AND THEN I

  • DELIGHTFULLY TOOK THAT JOB.

  • >>WELL LIFE HAS CHANGED A LOT IN

  • THE FEW YEARS SINCE YOU TOOK THE

  • JOB.

  • WHAT ARE THE MAIN SECURITY

  • CONCERNS FACING THE UNITED

  • STATES TODAY?

  • >>OH LORD, JOHN.

  • OF COURSE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS

  • OPEN THE PAPER ANY DAY AND OF

  • COURSE NOW IN THE HEAT OF AN

  • ELECTION CAMPAIGN ALL THESE

  • SUBJECTS ARE REALLY RISING TO

  • THE FLOOR.

  • AND I THINK ORIGINALLY A LOT OF

  • YOUR CANDIDATES WOULD RUN ON A

  • DOMESTIC POLICY PLANK.

  • BUT NOW, WITH ALL THE TERRORISM

  • ASPECTS TO IT, PARTICULARLY

  • PARIS AND SAN BERNADINO, THAT IS

  • FRONT AND CENTER OF THE

  • HEADLINES.

  • AND OF COURSE YOU WOULD SAY, I

  • DON'T LIKE THIS TERM--BUT IF

  • IT BLEEDS IT LEADS.

  • IF IT'S ON THE FRONT PAGE AND

  • YOU'RE KILLING FOURTEEN PEOPLE

  • IN SAN BERNADINO, PEOPLE ARE

  • GONNA READ THAT.

  • AND OF COURSE NOW THEY'RE

  • TRYING TO ATTACH IT TO A

  • RELIGIOUS ASPECT TO IT, THE

  • MUSLIM SIDE, WHICH IS JUST

  • TERRIBLE.

  • SO THAT I WOULD SAY PERHAPS IS

  • TOPIC NUMBER ONE.

  • NOW LONG TERM, I'M NOT SURE

  • THAT'S THE ULTIMATE THREAT TO

  • THE UNITED STATES.

  • YOU KNOW WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED

  • WITH CLIMATE CHANGE SINCE DAY

  • ONE.

  • AND PEOPLE GO, OH YEAH, CLIMATE

  • CHANGE.

  • YEAH THAT'S NOT GONNA KILL ME

  • TOMORROW.

  • NO IT WON'T KILL YOU TOMORROW.

  • BUT IT MIGHT KILL YOU 30 OR 40

  • YEARS IF WE CONTINUE TO POLLUTE

  • THE ATMOSPHERE THE WAY WE HAVE.

  • IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN TO BEJING IN

  • THE LAST DECADE CAN UNDERSTAND

  • YOU CAN'T BREATHE THERE.

  • I MEAN IT IS JUST HORRIBLE.

  • AND THE CHINESE DON'T KNOW IT.

  • THEY UNDERSTAND THAT.

  • BUT THAT'S WHERE THE LONG TERM

  • STRATEGIC PART OF A SECURITY

  • THREAT COMES IN AND YOU'VE GOT

  • YOUR DENIERS WHICH IS INCREDIBLY

  • SADING FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.

  • THE SCIENCE IS PROVEN THAT

  • CLIMATE CHANGE IS HERE AND

  • THEY'RE GONNA BE TREMENDOUS

  • THREATS TO OUR BASIS AND

  • STATIONS HERE, TO MANY OVERSEAS.

  • DIEGO GARCIA WILL PROBABLY GO

  • UNDERWATER.

  • MANY COUNTRIES, MARSHALL ISLANDS

  • WILL GO UNDERWATER, BANGLADESH,

  • PART OF THAT WILL GO UNDERWATER.

  • PEOPLE DON'T-CAN'T GET THEIR

  • HANDS AROUND THE CRISIS THAT

  • THIS IS GONNA CAUSE.

  • NOW WE KNOW WE'VE GOT REFUGEE

  • PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF ISIS AND AL

  • QAEDA AND BOKO HORAM THROUGHOUT

  • AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

  • AND THERE ARE A HUGE REFUGEE

  • CRISIS GOING ON WITH THE SYRIAN

  • BUSINESS, WHICH I THINK

  • ULTIMATELY WAS CAUSED BY ASSAD,

  • BUT FULED BY THE ARAB SPRING AND

  • IT NOT HANDLED WELL BY THE

  • INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

  • AND THAT'S COURSE NOW MORPHED

  • ITSELF INTO THREATENING US HERE

  • AS THE LONE WOLF IN MY OPINION,

  • GUY FROM SAN BERNADINO.

  • BUT THE ONE IN PARIS WAS NOT A

  • LONE WOLF.

  • THAT WAS COORDINATED ATTACK BY

  • ISIS.

  • AND THAT WILL CAUSE US SOME

  • SEVERE PROBLEMS.

  • >>AND THERE ARE CLIMATE CHANGE

  • ASPECTS TO THE TERRORISM

  • PROBLEM?

  • >>OH LORD, JOHN.

  • YOU KNOW THIS IS ONE I CAN PULL

  • THE STRING ON ALMOST EVERYTHING

  • GOING ON.

  • BUT I'LL START FROM THE

  • BEGINNING WITH ARAB SPRING FOR

  • INSTANCE.

  • THEY HAD HUGE FORREST FIRES IN

  • THE SOVIET-NOT SOVIET

  • UNION-RUSSIA 2010.

  • GRAIN PRODUCTION WENT WAY DOWN.

  • AS A CONSEQUENCE THE PRICE WENT

  • WAY UP AND GRAIN, BREAD'S MADE

  • FROM IT.

  • THAT IS A STAPLE DIET IN THE

  • MIDDLE EAST.

  • ALL THE PRICES OF FOOD WENT UP

  • AND THAT HELPED FUEL THE

  • INSTABILITY THROUGHOUT EGYPT,

  • LYBIA, TUNISIA, AND SYRIA.

  • NOW IN SYRIA, IT WAS EXACERBATED

  • BECAUSE OF THE PHENOMENAL

  • DROUGHT 2007, THE WORST IN THEIR

  • HISTORY, 2007, 2011.

  • AS A CONSEQUENCE ALL THE

  • FARMERS, ALL THE AGRARIAN FOLKS

  • MOVED INTO THE CITIES, ALEPPO

  • AND HOMS TO BE SPECIFIC.

  • AND BECAME A HUGE TARGET FOR

  • ASSAD AND OF COURSE WHEN THE

  • ARAB SPRING WAVED THROUGH,

  • COURSE THE CITIZENS IN SYRIA

  • WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE

  • GOVERNMENT.

  • THEY WEREN'T BEING TREATED

  • WELL.

  • THEY KIND OF REBELLED.

  • IT WASN'T AN ARMED REBELLION.

  • INITIALLY IT WAS A PEACEFUL

  • REBELLION.

  • WELL ASSAD MADE IT UN-PEACEFUL

  • AND ATTACKED THEM.

  • AND HIS MAIN TARGET OF COURSE

  • WAS ALLEPO.

  • AND HERE YOU HAD SEVERAL MILLION

  • PEOPLE THERE AND HE BARREL

  • BOMBED THEM TO DEATH AND,

  • LITERALLY.

  • AND NOW OF COURSE YOU HAVE A

  • PHENOMENAL REFUGEE CRISIS.

  • SO THAT'S THE TIE IN THAT CASE

  • BETWEEN CLIMATE CHANGE.

  • NOW I'M NOT SAYING CLIMATE

  • CHANGE NECESSARILY CAUSED ALL

  • THAT DROUGHT, BUT IT WAS A HUGE

  • ACCELERANT TO THE INSTABILITY.

  • IT WAS A THREAT MULTIPLIER.

  • >>SO WHY DON'T YOU SPOIL OUR

  • DAY AND GIVE US THE WORST CASE

  • SCENARIO FOR CLIMATE CHANGE-IF

  • WE DON'T GET OUR HANDS AROUND

  • THE PROBLEM.

  • >>YEAH I MEAN WE HAVE TALKED

  • ABOUT THIS AND IT'S AN

  • INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE I

  • HADN'T BEEN POSED THAT

  • SPECIFIC PART OF IT BEFORE.

  • BUT I WILL GIVE YOU A WORST CASE

  • SCENARIO.

  • ARTIC CAP MELTS.

  • LET'S SAY IN 15 TO 20 YEARS.

  • YOU HAVE A HUGE SEA LEVEL RISE.

  • I'M NOT TALKING SIX INCHES OR

  • A FOOT.

  • I'M TALKING THREE, FOUR, MAYBE

  • FIVE FEET.

  • AS A CONSEQUENCE, ALL YOUR EAST

  • COAST CITIES HAVE HUGE FLOODING

  • PROBLEMS.

  • MIAMI, NEW YORK, BOSTON,

  • BALTIMORE, NORFOLK.

  • OUR BASES AND STATIONS AROUND

  • THE WORLD THAT ARE 1, 2, 3 FEET

  • ABOVE SEA LEVEL ALL GO

  • UNDERWATER.

  • THEY'VE ALL GOT TO MOVE.

  • SO YOU'VE GOT TO RELOCATE ALL

  • YOUR BASES AND STATIONS.

  • AND THAT'S THE IMMEDIATE

  • IMPACT-I CALL THAT TACTICALLY

  • HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

  • STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS,

  • BANGLADESH ENDS UP INITIALLY

  • WITH A FIVE MILLION DOLLAR-FIVE

  • MILLION PERSON REFUGEE PROBLEM.

  • BUT IT EXPANDS TO 15 TO 30

  • MILLION PEOPLE HAVE TO GO

  • SOMEWHERE AND THERE'S NOT THE

  • ROOM, THERE'S NOT THE SPACE IN

  • BANGLADESH.

  • CAN'T GO TO INDIA BECAUSE

  • IT'S AN ARMED BORDER.

  • CAN'T GOT O MYANMAR.

  • WHERE DO THEY GO?

  • YOU TALK ABOUT A REFUGEE PROBLEM

  • OF ALMOST UNIMAGINABLE

  • PROPORTION HERE.

  • AND OF COURSE WE LOOK AT WHAT

  • WE'VE GOT WITH ONE OR TWO

  • MILLION OR THREE MILLION.

  • NOT THAT THAT'S INSIGNIFICANT

  • OUT OF SYRIA, BUT THIS WOULD BE

  • A PROBLEM THAT'S EVEN

  • CONSIDERABLY WORSE.

  • AND IT FLOODS ITSELF THROUGHOUT

  • SOUTHEAST ASIA.

  • SO YOU HAVE UPRISINGS THERE.

  • YOU'VE GOT ARMED CONFLICT

  • GOING ON THERE.

  • WE'RE ASKED TO RESPOND.

  • IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS, MUCH LIKE

  • TYPHOON HAIYAN IN THE

  • PHILIPPINES.

  • INSTEAD OF HAVING 200 OR 250

  • MILE AN HOUR TYPHOON, YOU GET

  • 300.

  • JUST BLOW AWAY TOTAL COUNTRIES

  • OR TOTAL CITIES.

  • AND THE PRINCIPLE RESPONDER, IS

  • US.

  • AND HERE'S ANOTHER FLIP TO

  • THAT ISSUE.

  • IT HAPPENS TO COME AT A TIME

  • WHEN THE CHINESE ARE BUILDING,

  • BUILDING ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH

  • CHINA SEA AND THE PHILIPPINES

  • FEEL VERY THREATENED BY THIS, AS

  • THEY SHOULD.

  • AND OF COURSE THE CHINESE ARE

  • TRYING TO ASSERT TERRITORIAL

  • ACCLAIM TO THOSE WATERS THROUGH

  • THE LAW OF THE SEA CONVENTION,

  • WHICH BY THE WAY WE DO NOT SIGN

  • UP TO.

  • SO ALL THIS STARTS TO GEL ITSELF

  • INTO HUGE CONFLICT THROUGHOUT

  • THE WORLD AND FOOD SHORTAGES

  • BEYOND COMPARE.

  • NOW THAT'S ARMAGEDDON,

  • THAT'S THE WORSE CASE.

  • I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA

  • HAPPEN.

  • >>SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO

  • PREVENT THAT SCENARIO?

  • >>YEAH I MEAN WE GET THAT

  • QUESTION AT AMERICAN SECURITY

  • PROJECT.

  • AND ONE OF THE POINTS TO HAVING

  • A NUMBER OF SENIOR FLAG OFFICERS

  • ON OUR BOARD, AND DON'T

  • MISUNDERSTAND ME, WE'VE GOT A

  • NUMBER OF VERY DISTINGUISHED

  • AMERICAN POLITICIANS AND

  • BUSINESSMEN AND WOMEN ON THE

  • BOARD.

  • LOCKHEED MARTIN, NORM AUGUSTINE,

  • FORMER CEO IS ON THE BOARD,

  • CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN, FORMER

  • GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY, AND ALSO

  • FORMER ADMINISTRATOR OF THE EPA

  • IS OUR CHAIR WOMAN RIGHT NOW.

  • SO WE'VE GOT A NICE MIX.

  • BUT THE MILITARY GUYS, THEY ARE

  • THERE TO SAY HEY, THE ULTIMATE

  • SOLUTION IS NOT THE MILITARY.

  • YOU KNOW AS WE TALK ABOUT SYRIA

  • AND YOU LISTEN TO THE

  • CANDIDATES, I'M GONNA SEND 25

  • THOUSAND TROOPS.

  • I'M GONNA HAVE A SAFE ZONE.

  • IT'S NOT THE ANSWER THERE.

  • THE ANSWER THERE IS FIX THE

  • POLITICAL SITUATION.

  • NOW, FOR CLIMATE CHANGE, LONG

  • TERM, THE ANSWER TO IT IS YOU

  • GOT TO GET RID OF CO-2

  • POLLUTION.

  • I MEAN THAT SOUNDS SIMPLISTIC,

  • BUT IT'S TRUE.

  • I MEAN IT REALLY IS TRUE.

  • AND COP-21 THE CONFERENCE OF

  • PARTIES 21 IN PARIS WILL HAVE

  • SOME REALLY GOOD RESULTS FROM

  • IT.

  • WHO KNOWS WHETHER WE'LL ACCEPT

  • THOSE.

  • WE DIDN'T FROM KYOTO AS YOU

  • MIGHT KNOW.

  • BUT, AND WE ARE AN ALL ABOVE

  • ORGANIZATION AT ASP.

  • WHETHER IT'S CAP AND TRADE,

  • TAX, A CARBON TAX WHETHER

  • THEY'RE INCENTIVES FOR

  • RENEWABLES.

  • WHETHER THEY'RE ALTERNATIVE

  • ENERGIES, NOT JUST SOLAR, NOT

  • JUST WIND.

  • INVESTMENT IN INNOVATION, FUSION

  • ENERGY FOR INSTANCE IS ONE

  • OPTION.

  • WORKING WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY

  • INDUSTRY AND HAVING THEM TAILOR

  • THEIR REACTORS, MAKING THEM

  • CHEAPER, MAKE THEM MORE

  • EFFICIENT, MAKING THEM BETTER,

  • THOSE ARE ALL OPTIONS THAT WE

  • SUPPORT TO GET RID OF CO-2

  • POLLUTION.

  • >>SO OTHER THAN CLIMATE CHANGE,

  • OTHER THAN POLITICAL VIOLENCE

  • WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SECURITY

  • PROBLEMS, CHALLENGES FOR THE

  • UNITED STATE?

  • >>OH BOY.

  • PUBLIC DIPLOMACY IS A HUGE ONE.

  • WE FEEL AT ASP THAT OUR COUNTRY

  • DOESN'T DO THAT PARTICULARLY

  • WELL.

  • HAVEN'T PUT ENOUGH EMPHASIS ON

  • IT.

  • CYBER SECURITY IS OBVIOUSLY THAT

  • IS ANOTHER WIN WIN.

  • MY OWN PERSONAL DATA GOT HACKED

  • WITH THE OPM BREACH.

  • AND I KNOW DOZENS, DOZENS WHO

  • GOT HACKED.

  • WE'VE GOT TO STOP AND PREVENT

  • THAT.

  • AND WE'VE GOT SMART ENOUGH

  • PEOPLE.

  • NOT NECESSARILY IN THE

  • GOVERNMENT THERE ARE SMART

  • PEOPLE THERE TOO, BUT THE

  • INDUSTRY FOLKS, THEY'RE ALL

  • THERE.

  • WE NEED TO TAP INTO THAT

  • INTELLIGENCE THAT'S THERE,

  • THOSE FOLKS AND INNOVATION THAT

  • CAN FIX THE CYBER SECURITY

  • PROBLEM.

  • BECAUSE WE'RE ALL SO DEPENDENT

  • ON ALL THAT DATA THAT CAN BE

  • HACKED, AND HAS BEEN HACKED.

  • SO CYBER IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE

  • BIGGEST.

  • >>SO WE DO WE DO ABOUT THAT KIND

  • OF CHALLENGE?

  • WE'RE SO DEPENDENT ON

  • TECHNOLOGY.

  • >>SURE.

  • >>AND IT SEEMS TO BE OUR

  • STRENGTH AND OUR WEAKNESS.

  • >>WELL IT IS.

  • AND YOU KNOW WE'RE THE ONES

  • THAT DISCOVERED IT, PUT IT ALL

  • TOGETHER AND NOW OF COURSE

  • IT'S EXPLODED WORLD WIDE AND

  • THERE ARE BRILLIANT MINDS ALL

  • OVER THE WORLD THAT ARE WORKING

  • PRO AND CON ON THE CYBER

  • QUESTION.

  • AS THEY HAVE HERE, I THINK YOU

  • JUST HAVE TO PUT THE RESOURCES

  • AGAINST IT AND UNDERSTAND IT.

  • NOW THAT GETS INTO THE POLICY

  • AND LEGAL SIDE OF THE HOUSE TOO,

  • I.E.

  • NSA MONITORING YOUR PHONES,

  • COLLECTION OF DATA, HOW MUCH

  • DOES GOVERNMENT TAKE, PRIVACY

  • ACT.

  • AND THERE'S A BALANCE TO THIS.

  • I MEAN IT IS.

  • AND IT'S A TOUGH ONE, IT'S A

  • TOUGH ONE TO ANSWER.

  • I KNOW A LOT OF AMERICANS

  • DON'T CARE TO HAVE THEIR PHONE

  • CONVERSATIONS RECORDED.

  • I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IF IT

  • MEANS THE SECURITY OF YOUR LIFE

  • OR YOUR FINANCES, I THINK YOU

  • WOULDN'T MIND SOMEBODY AT

  • LEAST KEEPING TRACK OF IT IN

  • TERMS OF WHO'S HACKING YOU AND

  • HOW IT'S GETTING HACKED AND

  • WHAT KIND OF SCREENS YOU CAN PUT

  • UP OR PREVENTIVE DEVICES TO STOP

  • THE HACKING FROM OCCURRING.

  • AND THE OTHER SIDE OF IT TOO IS

  • WORKING THE INTERNATIONAL

  • COMMUNITY.

  • I MEAN THIS IS A HAND AND GLOVE

  • OPERATION.

  • THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY IS

  • TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON ELECTRONICS

  • AND CYBER.

  • I MEAN IT'S A WORLD-YOU CAN

  • MAKE A TRADE IF YOU'RE IN HONG

  • KONG, YOU DO A TRADE RIGHT NOW

  • ON WALL STREET IN LITERALLY IN

  • MILLISECONDS.

  • IT'S THAT KIND OF THING

  • THAT'S DANGEROUS.

  • IT'S GREAT.

  • BUT IT'S DANGEROUS, OUGHT TO

  • BE REGULATED.

  • WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

  • >>AS YOU DEAL WITH THESE GLOBAL

  • CHALLENGES, WHAT IS THE RELATIVE

  • ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES?

  • YOU HAVE SOME ANALYSTS SAYING

  • THE UNITED STATES IS A DECLINING

  • SUPER POWER.

  • YOU HAVE SOME PUNDITS WHO GO TO

  • THE EXTREME AND SAY THE UNITED

  • STATES WILL NO LONGER BE

  • RELEVANT A DECADE OR TWO FROM

  • NOW.

  • BUT IN MY OPINION AND IN MY

  • EXPERIENCE THE UNITED STATES

  • SEEMS TO SORT OF REVIEW AND

  • RENEW ITSELF PERIODICALLY AND

  • USUALLY COMES BACK BETTER THAN

  • BEFORE.

  • AT LEAST IN TERMS OF DEALING

  • WITH CHALLENGES.

  • SO WHERE ARE, ARE WE A DECLINING

  • SUPER POWER?

  • ARE WE DECLINING AND ALSO

  • CLIMBING RELATIVE TO OTHER

  • COUNTRIES AS THEY CLIMB AND

  • DECLINE?

  • >>SURE.

  • YOU KNOW JOHN, AND TAKE OFFENSE

  • IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD.

  • I ABHOR THE RELATIVE TERM SUPER

  • POWER OR DECLINING OR BEING THE

  • GREATEST.

  • IT KIND OF GIVES YOU THE OPINION

  • THAT WE'RE SUPERIOR, WE'RE

  • BETTER THAN YOU.

  • AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

  • WE WANT TO LIVE OUR LIVES THE

  • WAY WE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES AND WE

  • WANT TO DO IT IN A PEACEFUL WAY

  • AT THE PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY,

  • AND HAPPINESS.

  • AND WE DO A GOOD JOB OF THAT.

  • THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, OUR

  • FORMER GOVERNMENT WORKS IN IT.

  • IT WORKS WELL.

  • IT'S PROVEN THAT OUR

  • INDUSTRIES SUCCEEDS BECAUSE OF

  • IT AND THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS

  • WITH OUR TAX STRUCTURE WHICH I

  • WON'T GET INTO THAT UNLESS YOU

  • ASK ME.

  • BUT MY POINT TO IT IS, IT'S

  • NOT A CASE OF, AND I'LL TAKE

  • NUCLEAR WEAPONS AS AN EXAMPLE.

  • OH WE'VE GOT MORE NUCLEAR

  • WEAPONS THAN YOU AND WE'RE

  • MORE POWERFUL.

  • WE DON'T-PERSONALLY I THINK WE

  • REALLY DON'T WANT NUCLEAR

  • WEAPONS.

  • WE DO NEED THEM TO A POINT, TO

  • BALANCE AS A COUNTER FORCE TO

  • THOSE WHO HAVE THEM.

  • BUT I HATE TO GET INTO THE

  • NUMBER COUNTING BUSINESS.

  • OKAY, WE GOTTA HAVE 1,551

  • BECAUSE YOU HAVE 1,550.

  • AND I DON'T LIKE THOSE

  • MEASUREMENTS.

  • I THINK TO GET TO THE BOTTOM

  • LINE OF YOUR QUESTION HERE, WE

  • WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE FOREFRONT

  • OF SCIENCE AND INNOVATION AND

  • TECHNOLOGY, BECAUSE OF OUR

  • UNIVERSITY SYSTEM LIKE THE

  • UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA.

  • WE'VE GOT INNOVATION, WE

  • STUDY, WE OPEN SOCIETY.

  • WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THOSE

  • LIMITS.

  • WHEREAS THAT CAPABILITY

  • DOESN'T EXIST ANYWHERE ELSE

  • LIKE IT DOES HERE.

  • AND UNTIL SOMEBODY COMES UP WITH

  • A SYSTEM SIMILAR TO OURS OR

  • MAYBE BETTER?

  • I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD

  • BE.

  • THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE AS GOOD

  • AS US.

  • ON THE MILITARY SIDE OF HOUSE

  • HANDS DOWN I'M 30 PLUS YEARS

  • IN THE MARINES, WE'VE GOT A

  • FANTASTIC MILITARY

  • ESTABLISHMENT.

  • IT'S UNMATCHED IN MY PERSONAL

  • OPINION.

  • AND I'VE SEEN ALMOST ALL THE

  • OTHER ONES IN THE WORLD.

  • THEY JUST CAN'T DO IT THE

  • WAY-WE PUT A HUGE INVESTMENT,

  • AND I WOULD KNOW, INTO THE

  • TRAINING ASPECT OF OUR TROOPS.

  • TO TRAIN AN NCO, NCO IS A

  • CORPORAL OR A SERGEANT OR ABOVE,

  • REALLY TAKES THREE OR FOUR

  • YEARS.

  • MAYBE FIVE, YEARS, YEARS.

  • AND YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE TOTAL

  • CONTROL OF THAT INDIVIDUAL 24/7.

  • AND OF COURSE THEY'RE

  • APPOINTING TO OUR FAILURE OF TO

  • TRAIN TROOPS IN IRAQ WHICH

  • WE'VE HAD WHAT A YEAR?

  • OR MAYBE A YEAR AND A HALF OR

  • TWO.

  • AND THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE A

  • VOLUNTEER TO CONTROL OF HIM,

  • HE'S GOTTA BE OUTFITTED.

  • IT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO DO.

  • NOBODY'S GONNA COME CLOSE TO

  • US JOHN.

  • >>WHAT ABOUT THE RISING POWER?

  • YOU'VE MENTIONED CHINA SEVERAL

  • TIMES.

  • WE'VE SEEN RUSSIA RESURGE OF

  • LATE PROJECTING FORCE INTO

  • SYRIA.

  • ARE THOSE REAL THREATS OR IS IT

  • JUST A GIVE AND TAKE OF THE

  • INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM?

  • >>THEY'RE ALWAYS THREATS OF

  • SOME SORT ANOTHER.

  • THEY'RE ALL GONNA PROTECT

  • THEIR NATIONAL INTEREST.

  • PARTICULARLY IN THE CASE OF

  • CHINA WITH THE BUILDING OF THE

  • SPRATLEY AND WANTING TO TAKE

  • OVER THE TERRITORY OF WATERS.

  • I MEAN THAT IS, THAT'S A

  • CHALLENGE.

  • AND I DID NOT LIKE THE WORD

  • PIVOT TO ASIA.

  • YOU KNOW I JUST-BECAUSE IT

  • INSINUATES THAT WE'RE TAKING

  • FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WE'RE

  • PUTTING IT THERE.

  • SO THOSE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, OR

  • THOSE IN EUROPE, OR THOSE IN

  • SOUTH AMERICA GO, HEY!

  • WHAT ABOUT US?

  • HOWEVER THAT SAID, CHINA IS VERY

  • IMPORTANT AND OF COURSE ONE OF

  • THE BIGGEST THREATS THERE IS

  • NORTH KOREA.

  • IT'S NOT CHINA BUT MILITARILY

  • WE COULD TAKE THEM OUT IN A

  • NANOSECOND.

  • BUT IF THEY LAUNCHED A NUKE AT

  • SOMEBODY IT WOULD BE HELL TO

  • PAY.

  • RUSSIA, RUSSIA'S HUGE PROBLEM.

  • THEY'RE REARMING PART OF THE

  • ARTIC.

  • THAT TO ME IS AN ALARM BELL.

  • WE REALLY HAVE TO KEEP-WE WORK

  • WITH THEM AND KEEP AN EYE ON

  • THEM.

  • BUT I'M ULTIMATELY, I'M NOT

  • SURE WHAT HIS AIM IS OTHER THAN

  • HE WANTS TO BE THE PLAYER ON THE

  • INDIA NATIONAL SCENE AND WANTS

  • TO CHALLENGE.

  • AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO

  • RECOGNIZE THEM.

  • SURE, YOU'RE A MAJOR COUNTRY.

  • YOU'RE PART OF THE SECURITY

  • COUNCIL.

  • YOU ARE.

  • WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

  • WELL, MAYBE HE WANTS THE WORSE,

  • APAC BACK.

  • ALL THOSE COUNTRIES.

  • SO, I THINK INDEED AND IT'S

  • WHEN YOU BRING IN THE NUCLEAR

  • SIDE OF THIS AND THEY HAVE

  • NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THEY'VE

  • KIND OF RATTLED THAT A LITTLE

  • BIT LATELY, THAT IS REALLY

  • PROBLEMATIC.

  • I MEAN IT'S-NOT THAT WE

  • DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO

  • COUNTER THAT, WE DO, CLEARLY.

  • BUT YOU CERTAINLY DON'T WANT

  • TO INTRODUCE THAT INTO ANY KIND

  • OF A CONFLICT AND I THINK YOU

  • ALWAYS GOTTA HAVE THAT IN THE

  • BACK OF YOUR MINDS.

  • ULTIMATELY SOME WOULD SAY

  • NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE THE ULTIMATE

  • THREAT EVEN MORE THAN CLIMATE

  • CHANGE.

  • AND I THINK PERHAPS THEY ARE IF

  • SOMEBODY GOT A HOLD OF THEM OR

  • THEY EXPORTED THE TECHNOLOGY TO

  • A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

  • THEN IT WOULD REALLY BE BAD

  • NEWS.

  • >>WITH THE RATTLING OF SUCH

  • WEAPONS IMPLIES YOU'RE WILLING

  • TO USE THEM.

  • AND THAT'S WHAT DISTURBS ME.

  • >>IT DISTURBS ME TOO.

  • AND I'M ON A NUMBER OF STUDY

  • GROUPS AND BOARDS, ONE BIG BOARD

  • AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT

  • WORKS FOR THE UNDER SECRETARY

  • FOR NON PROLIFERATION AND WE

  • DISCUSS THIS ISSUE A LOT.

  • AND YOU WAX AND WANE ON IT LIKE

  • I MENTIONED EARLIER UNDER NEW

  • START OUT OF 2011, WE GO DOWN TO

  • 1,550 WEAPONS AND WE'RE

  • GETTING THERE PRETTY FAST.

  • THAT'S SUCH AN IMMENSE AMOUNT

  • OF NUCLEAR CAPABILITY.

  • I MEAN HOW MANY DO YOU NEED TO

  • COUNTER WHOEVER HAS WHATEVER?

  • I MEAN YOU REALLY DON'T EVEN

  • WANNA USE ONE.

  • I MEAN IT'S ALMOST

  • INCONCEIVABLE TO ME THAT WE

  • WOULD EVER EVEN USE ONE BE

  • HONEST WITH YOU.

  • I UNDERSTAND IT, BUT I JUST

  • DON'T SEE US EVER DOING IT.

  • NOW PUTIN, I JUST DON'T KNOW.

  • AND THERE WAS A TIME IN THE

  • MID-90, LATE-90'S EARLY 2000S

  • WHERE THE RUSSIAN TRADITIONAL

  • FORCES HAD LOST THEIR POTENCY.

  • THEY HAD REALLY DETERIORATED

  • SIGNIFICANTLY AND ONE OF THE

  • THOUGHTS WAS THAT THEY WOULD USE

  • THEIR NUCLEAR ARSENAL BECAUSE

  • THEIR TRADITIONAL FORCES,

  • CONVENTIONAL FORCES WERE WEAK

  • AND THEY WOULD BACK IT UP WITH

  • NUCLEAR WEAPON.

  • NOW THAT IS BIG TROUBLE.

  • BUT NOW PUTIN HAS BUILT UP THE

  • CONFESSIONAL AND HE'S WORKING

  • HARD TO BUILD UP HIS

  • CONFESSIONAL FORCES BACK TO

  • WHERE THEY WERE EARLY 80S, LATE

  • 70S.

  • IS THAT A GOOD THING?

  • I'M NOT SURE BUT WE'D RATHER

  • NOT HAVE HIM USING NUCLEAR

  • WEAPONS.

  • >>GREAT.

  • WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

  • JOINING US TODAY GENERAL CHENEY.

  • >>JOHM IT'S BEEN MY PLEASURE

  • AND THANK YOU AND THE UNIVERSITY

  • OF CENTRAL FLORIDA.

  • >>AND THANK YOU.

  • FOR GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES, I'M

  • JOHN BERSIA AND WE'LL SEE YOU

  • NEXT TIME.

>>WHAT ARE THE SECURITY THREATS
