  • EPP 433: Ghost Ship of the Pacific

    Sorry, very interesting topic but the background noise, telephonic rings, scratchy microphones just ruined listening to it.

  • Deterrence

    Taiwan/ROC does not/ cannot reconquer the mainland/PRC. The US ought to sign a new treaty with Taiwan/ROC & be very specific that the US will come to the aid of Taiwan/ROC.

    The US expects its allies: Japan, South Korea, Australia & NATO, to come to our aid when the PRC attacks US territory/military.

The presentation offered little to an understanding of what happened and why. well, most people think of California as having a north south coast line, between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The coastline makes a nearly 90° turn just south of the incident site. Thus there is a strong incentive to make the turn. As early as possible.

  • Convince ward to come back to proceedings

    Have loved this podcast for years. The carroll- Hamblett team were interesting and incisive and never failed to entertain. Now, it has become less interesting and almost hard to listen to. Just try listening to the most recent SNA episode and notwithstanding the contractor pitch, the background noise was unbearable! Please up the game and get back to the purpose of the podcast and improve the technical quality!! Thanks
