Episode 80 – Congress, Ukraine, and China: The Rendezvous

Episode Summary:

In Episode 80 of the Aerospace Advantage podcast, Congress, Ukraine, and China: The Rendezvous, The Mitchell Institute team of Lt General Deptula, Doug Birkey, and Daniel Rice, gather to discuss air and space topics that you’ve seen in the national security headlines. This week’s episode focuses on the defense bills moving through the House and Senate, with predictions regarding what Air Force priorities will win and lose. We also discuss the latest events that are occurring in Ukraine and the risks involved with providing too little support at a time when Russia is still making progress and the coalition backing Ukraine faces pressure. Finally, the conversation wraps up by looking at a number of meetings Chinese leaders have been holding with Pacific Island nations as they seek economic and military agreements.
