  <title><![CDATA[Former NATO Commander Breedlove Puts Georgia Tech Training Toward Containing Russia]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Global Atlanta highlighted General Philip Breedlove&#39;s (Civil Engineering 1977) mission as a distinguished professor in the Ivan Allen College Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>Excerpts:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>By returning to the&nbsp;Georgia Institute of Technology&nbsp;as a distinguished professor at the&nbsp;Sam Nunn School of International Affairs&nbsp;last year, Gen.&nbsp;Philip Breedlove&nbsp;completes a full circle in a career that includes his service as&nbsp;NATO&lsquo;s Supreme Allied Commander Europe and the commander of U.S. European Command.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&quot;In his address, he said that the U.S.&rsquo;s opponents &ldquo;are more emboldened, more than they have ever been,&rdquo; while politically the U.S. was divided and needed to become more unified in its understanding of the values it upholds and its politics. &ldquo;To reestablish our national position in the world, we can&rsquo;t do that with two voices out of<strong>&nbsp;Washington D.C.</strong>,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>He also said that he was concerned by Russia&rsquo;s role in the U.S. elections, but somewhat downplayed his concern saying that the challenges Russia presents to the U.S. &ldquo;are far bigger and impactful than what has happened in any election.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;I think that Mr. Putin is incredibly happy with what has happened,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;He has challenged the legitimacy of democracy.&rdquo;</p>
