This week we’re presenting a special bonus episode of the State Secrets podcast.  Each year at the Cipher Brief’s Annual Threat Conference, we open the event with a presentation of our Annual Threat Report.  In 2018 former Director of the CIA and NSA, General Michael Hayden presented the annual threat report.  

He began with an overview of the top global security threats.  On that list were issues related to China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and Terrorism, as you would expect.  But Hayden also adds a rich description of how the global world order, the one based significantly on the post WWII, American-led system is changing.  That change, he argues represents a major concern for the entire world, in particular for U.S. allies, and represents very serious challenges to the United States.
