  • Is the US Military Losing it's Edge? | ft. Dr. Sean McFate

    If Americans are drawn into major armed conflict, can we win? The answer is unclear. The US Military hasn't won a war since the 1940s and seems blind to the changes happening all around them.

    The age of the aircraft carrier and fighter jet is over, but its proponents in Washington won't give it up. Instead, they are hell-bent on pursuing failed strategies no longer relevant in a world of drones, mercenaries, and shadow wars.

    In this episode, we interview Professor Sean McFate, author of "The New Rules of War" and discuss how the US can prepare for the future of warfare. We discuss the rise of mercenary armies, what Israel is doing right (and wrong), how America can win against Russia and China, and Biden's reckless escalation of the war in Ukraine.
