In this episode, host Jessie Graham takes a look back at the 2003 conference, when German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer confronted U.S. Defense Sec
The Elephants in the Room
For the final episode of the season, host Jessie Graham explores the “elephants in the room” at this year’s Munich Security Conference—mainly, whether or not the United States is still adhering to the rules-based order. This refers to an established set of norms between Western allies. With so much in flux, the conference serves a critical venue for leaders to convene and work out their difference

A New Sheriff in Town
On Feb. 14, 2025, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance gave a speech that rocked the entire Munich Security Conference. The speech’s harsh tone and condemnation of the United States’ European allies was a shock to many in the room, and some say it was a turning point in U.S.-European relations.
Join host Jessie Graham for a look back at the speech and for an analysis of the state of the trans-Atlantic
Breakfast and Dinner in Ukraine
By any measure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s 2022 speech at the Munich Security Conference was a bold endeavor. Not only was he in and out of the country in less than 12 hours, but Zelensky also delivered an impassioned speech during a time when Russia was on the precipice of invading his country.
Join host Jessie Graham for a look at how Zelensky’s forceful stance against Russia at
The Unipolar World
In 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin came to the Munich Security Conference to deliver a speech that still reverberates today. He talked about the threat of a “unipolar world.” By this, Putin meant a world in which the United States was the sole superpower.
The speech marked a dramatic shift in the posture of Russia toward the West after the fall of the Soviet Union.
