The contradiction of military superiority and China threat deflation.  How many " left technocrats" are actually out there?  Is dollar hegemony good for national security?  And why do Millennials shun American exceptionalism while Boomers still revel in it?  Also this episode: blowing up the landmine ban triggers Van's inner activist, military superiority is politically unsustainable, more Chinese imperialism, and what the defense budget shouldn't be spending money on.
