Outposts of Influence: Great Power Competition and Overseas Military Bases
Episode 245
Thursday, 8 May, 2025
In this episode of The World Unpacked, Isaac B. Kardon sits down with Ashley J.

They explore how the role of overseas bases has changed over time and how the U.S., China, and Russia—among other countries—use them to project power today. Despite advances in technology and long-range weapons, bases remain key to grand strategy, political influence, and sustained military reach.
