  • Pitiful analysis

    Just presenting the propaganda of one side isn’t analysis.

  • Stop interrupting your guests please

    I really enjoy this podcast but the host interjects way too often when his guest is talking and it seems like he just wants to show off his knowledge and it gets annoying. Other than that, it covers great topics

  • Great intro music

    Using Blade Runner opening theme as intro music is outstanding. Didn’t even listen to the episode but 5 stars for that. Use Rachels Song for the next intro.

  • Propaganda for a One-Party State

    As long as the F.B.I.’s violations are all just coincidentally against the political right, then Silverado will say the abused power is “necessary” & all the violations “inadvertent.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Drones Can’t Replace Traditional Firepower
Q: Are you saying all of those things we should reduce our reliance on or specifically just the FPV personnel-launched drones?
Justin states that NATO forces shouldn't reduce investment in all uncrewed systems, but argues against prioritizing UAVs as the core form of lethality to counter Russian forces.
Why Drones Can’t Replace Traditional Firepower
Q: Are you arguing specifically against reliance on these personnel-launched FPV drones or all sorts of drones?
Justin argues against relying on large-scale development and manufacture of small UAVs, specifically FPV types, as the primary means of increasing lethality against Russian forces. He states that while UAVs should be invested in, they should not replace traditional firepower.
Why America's Nuclear Deterrence Strategy Needs to Change
Q: What are the implications of China's nuclear capabilities for US strategic posture?
China's nuclear expansion indicates a shift in its strategy that calls for a reassessment of US nuclear force structure to maintain deterrent credibility.
Why America's Nuclear Deterrence Strategy Needs to Change
Q: Do you think Iran's actions and current nuclear strategy will provoke changes in their approach to nuclear weapons?
Iran's recent behaviors suggest they might move towards either fully developing or enhancing their nuclear capabilities rather than staying on the threshold.
Putin’s Nuclear Meltdown
Q: Is the risk of escalation higher today than it was a week ago?
The risk is a little higher, but I do not think we are on a path to World War III.
