Reflections
This video was recorded at MIT World Series: Robert A. Muh Alumni Award . Former Secretary of State and MIT alum, George Shultz returned to MIT to accept the Robert A. Muh Award for his noteworthy achievements. In this talk he reflects on his time at MIT and expresses appreciation for the lessons he learned at MIT that influence him to this day. Reflecting on the current state of the world, he discussed the complex interaction between strength and diplomacy, and says "the United States should equip itself militarily to be powerful enough so that no one in their right mind would want to challenge us". He also declares the "use of forces for preemptive action should be reserved for cases of extreme danger". He talks about Iraq, the first Gulf War and the situation in North Korea, which he calls "a case where prevention has failed".
