History tells us the US and the West won the Cold War. A deeper look gives a different impression. How did we get so far behind the curve if the USSR went out of business in 1991?

Episode-31-We-Won-the-Cold-War.-Right_-The-Savings-and-Loan-Crisis-Putin-and-Jihad-Comes-to-Our-Shores.

This show is about presenting the anti conventional wisdom and expanding beyond the typical common knowledge that infests technical problems. I’ve been submerged in technical difficulties and solutions since my early 20s and have a pretty good perspective on what works, and I have been fortunate to come up with some decent solutions without killing anyone. Further, I have been blessed to be around some nosebleed level geniuses who have shared their experiences, answers, and their personal knowledge of “James – don’t do it that way.” Between the Army, some 3-letter agencies, way too many attorneys and a series of large classes of students I’ve experienced a lot of things I’d never inflict upon anyone, yet survived to have some reasonable answers – we hope -in this complex, over-wired world. I seek your comments, ideas and disagreements as I seek the great knowledge base of Aftermath’s listeners.
