An atrocious ally is no ally at all. Democracies should never enable tyranny.
A school full of little girls was bombed on day one of Trump’s illegal war & it’s insane that no one even mentions it. We DO NOT have to live in a casually despicable world.

Used to be news on D&A, now it is just a politically biased grief session about Trump. Please go back to reporting on the business of D&A.
I think this recent round table was the most pathetic sanewashing of this Iran war that I’ve heard so far. It’s almost like you guys are a mouthpiece for an industry that’s going to benefit greatly from it or something.
Skip opening monologue, just bias propaganda doesn’t help the political divide. Defense is and needs to be a political; leave that spin to cable entertainment faux news channels, you’re better than that V
Please stick to reporting facts on A&D and hosting expert guests. Though love hearing them correct your spin

Defensive and aerospace topics shape this program, with frequent roundtable discussions and expert interviews that connect policy, budgeting, and industrial strategy to real-world outcomes. Episodes commonly dissect congressional dynamics, defense budgets, modernization programs, and the evolving industrial base, while guests from think tanks, industry associations, and defense firms illuminate how geopolitics and technology drive strategy, procurement, and risk. A notable pattern is the blend of high-level policy analysis with market and programmatic implications, plus a recurring emphasis on open architectures, acquisition reform, and alliance dynamics that influence decision-making across government and industry.
