Yesterday morning I had retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt on the podcast for the first time. I’m still getting used to Zoom, so this one was audio only. We talked about the competition for routes and resources among the elite factions, the incoming supply chain problems, and why the Trump administration needs some big wins in the next couple months. You can find Blaine at Dangerous Intellectuals, as well as on Substack and Twitter, and his article yesterday for Newsmax is definitely worth a read.
