Join Erik as he delves into the Neocon establishment’s roots in Washington, from the fall of the USSR to today's defense spending issues. Explore how aggressive stances toward Russia, leading to the Ukraine war, and conflicts in Africa serve to generate profits for politicians and defense contractors. Discover why private security firms, despite their cost-effective operations, are sidelined in favor of high-cost military interventions that fuel U.S. national debt and enrich the military-industrial complex.

Erik also discusses his critical piece, 'Too Big to Win: How the MIC and the Neocons Keep America Losing.' Tune in for a deep dive into the history, impact, and financial underpinnings of endless war driven by Neocon policies.
