About this episode

The episode discusses the renewed conflict with Iran and the implications for U.S. military and diplomatic strategies.

We break down the renewed fighting with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and whether the U.S. has any realistic military or diplomatic path forward. We also get into NATO, Ukraine’s air defense needs, the defense industrial base, and why America keeps spending more while producing less.
