Host Giovanni examines what makes America strong, from its $800 billion defense budget and unmatched military assets to soft power like culture, brands and the dollar.

The episode explores U.S. global presence, recent actions in Iran, Ukraine and Venezuela, debates over intervention versus deterrence, and emerging threats like cyber and AI warfare.

Giovanni closes by asking whether America’s strength comes from its weapons, its values, or its people and invites listeners to join the conversation.
