What happened? This show has gotten more and more political with each passing year. It’s not even listenable anymore. Unfollow.

The show consistently centers on global conflict, geopolitics, and the ethics and consequences of military action, often through historical parallels and contemporary case studies. Episodes feature deep-dives with historians, policy experts, and journalists who dissect escalation dynamics, deterrence, and the role of technology in modern warfare.
