When should the U.S. intervene militarily abroad? Join a Braver Angels potluck supper and fishbowl discussion.
Questions about military intervention continue to shape public debate over conflicts in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere. Americans hold a wide range of views about when the United States should use military force abroad and what responsibilities come with being a global power. Decisions about war, deterrence, alliances, peacekeeping, and humanitarian intervention can have profound consequences for our nation and the wider world.
Join a Fishbowl discussion exploring the question:
**When should the U.S. intervene militarily in affairs beyond its borders, and why?**
While current events may provide examples, the discussion will focus on the deeper principles, values, concerns, and experiences that shape our views about military intervention and America’s role in the world.
This structured conversation is designed to foster listening, reflection, and understanding across differences. The goal is not to persuade others or reach consensus, but to better understand how people think about important public issues.
Whether you are generally supportive of American military engagement abroad, skeptical of intervention, or still wrestling with these questions, your perspective is welcome.
The evening will begin with a potluck supper—an opportunity to meet neighbors, share informal conversation, and build connections before the Fishbowl begins.Schedule6:00–7:00 PM: Potluck supper and informal conversation7:00–8:30 PM: Moderated Fishbowl discussion
