Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Scott Lucas, journalist and Professor of American Studies and International Politics at the Clinton Institute, University College Dublin. The war in Ukraine and the escalating confrontation with Iran are no longer separate geopolitical theatres, explains Professor Lucas. They are increasingly interconnected through technology, alliances, and strategic calculations. Ukraine’s experience in what has become the world’s first large-scale drone war gives it a unique capability to assist the United States and regional partners.
