Nations are built by stories. They shape people's thinking, building a foundation where identities are moulded. In this episode, political scientist and national security expert, Dr. Christian Leuprecht, dives into the world of defence and intelligence, and explains why we often choose to bury our heads in the sand, disregarding the ever-changing world around us, and ignoring the enemy who is already at the gates.
