Welcome to the world in 10 in an increasingly uncertain world.
This is the Times daily podcast dedicated to global Security Today with me, Alex Dibble and Toby Gillis.
With just a week to go until Donald Trump returns to the White House, the handover of power is close to completion across all areas of policy.
Yet the resignation of a top apolitical Pentagon official is being seen as a signal of uncertainty and perhaps discontent.
It might also give us some insight into Mr.
Trump's plan for Ukraine.
And if you're Volodymyr Zelensky, it won't be a welcome one.
Laura Cooper was one of the key figures in putting together the US's multi billion dollar military aid package for Ukraine when the invasion began.
Her resignation is being linked to the president elect's campaign pledge to end the war as soon as he retakes office.
She had worked in the Pentagon since 2001.
The Times Pentagon analyst and former defence editor Michael Evans is our guest today.
Michael, how significant is this story?
What does it symbolize and what will Laura Cooper, after 24 years in the Pentagon do now?
She's a super smart lady.
She's in charge of the Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia department.
She plays a pretty vital part in what is going on or what has been going on in the Pentagon for the last three years.
The Pentagon are saying now that she's not departed the Department of Defense, but that she's voluntarily left.
I rather like that to take up this new post of instructor at the National War College, which is in Washington, very prestigious college, and she will play a big role there.
What is not clear is how long she will stay there and whether she will come back to the Pentagon in the future.
