  • Why separate features??

    Hello,

    Please play as one continuous show as in the present format I can’t listen while out walking or driving due the current format of several separate features. It’s my favourite programme on radio but often missed because of the ‘bitty’ podcast presentation.

The Global Economics of War
Q: What are the broader geopolitical implications for NATO and Western defense spending?
NATO allies may rethink where to allocate budgets, possibly shifting away from traditional 20th-century munitions toward ongoing drone and cyber-enabled capabilities, while discussing extended nuclear deterrence concepts.
The Global Economics of War
Q: How does drone technology affect future settlements between Russia and Ukraine?
If Ukraine can defend itself effectively with affordable drones, any settlement will have to account for a new balance of power and security guarantees that don't rely solely on traditional force options.
The Global Economics of War
Q: Why is Ukraine's drone capability significant in American and allied strategy?
Ukraine's rapid, economical drone development gives it leverage and insights that influence how major powers respond, potentially guiding future defense collaborations and procurement.
The Global Economics of War
Q: What is changing in the economics of warfare according to Edward Luce?
Drones and cheap interceptors can down expensive missiles, making cost a central determinant in warfare and forcing a rethink of how military power is exercised.
Igniting Innovation with Simon Boucher
Q: Is there a correlation between charisma and narcissism?
Charismatic individuals can share traits with narcissistic profiles, such as strong self-belief and confidence, but they are not the same; charisma involves eliciting a response and potential self-awareness, whereas narcissism is a distinct personality pattern.
