    Solid analysis but the ads can be a bit much. Needs better editing around that

    I really enjoy listening to Preston for the topics that he reports on and discusses. I appreciate the depth and context that he offers when talking about current events regarding foreign affairs, military, and national security. He offers a great analysis, especially given his background. He presents the facts and is pretty straight to the point. Major respect for the work he’s doing. 10/10 recommend!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ukraine's Deep Strikes Aren't Breaking the Frontline....Yet
Q: Should we expect shifts in Ukrainian operational priorities with the new leadership?
Frontlines remain largely locked in, with Russia concentrating in Donbas; changes are more likely in leadership style and force management than in immediate tactical priorities, though corps cohesion is improving under the new structure.
Ukraine's Deep Strikes Aren't Breaking the Frontline....Yet
Q: What impact have middle strike campaigns had on Russian ability to bring up troops and resources?
There is a suppressive effect on Russian offensive potential and momentum, but it has not yet produced a decisive halt to operations; Russia still conducts drone activity and offensive actions in multiple sectors.
Ukraine's Deep Strikes Aren't Breaking the Frontline....Yet
Q: What changed this time around compared to the last visit to the front?
Russian tactics hadn't dramatically changed; Ukraine had already optimized to defend against infiltration, and the Ukrainian push focused on leveraging new strike capabilities while observing seasonality and front dynamics.
Ryan Evans on the Path to Defeat in Iran
Q: Given munitions shortages and industrial-base concerns, what alternative approaches could be more sustainable?
A shift away from an exclusive reliance on high-cost precision missiles toward cheaper, mass-produced options, and a stronger emphasis on rebuilding and leveraging a broader defense-industrial base to sustain longer conflicts.
Ryan Evans on the Path to Defeat in Iran
Q: What was missing in the initial approach to the conflict with Iran?
The core issue was a disconnect between military actions and an explicit, achievable end state; there was no clear linkage between what was being done on the ground and the political objectives, making it hard to determine what would constitute success.
