On today’s episode, Andy Stumpf and Mike Baker, former CIA operations officer and national security expert, examine the ongoing debate over the potential transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and what it means for global security. The conversation explores how these long-range weapons, capable of striking targets deep inside Russia, could change the dynamics of the war and increase the risk of escalation. They discuss President Trump’s cautious approach to the decision, the measured but increasingly tense response from Vladimir Putin, and how this reflects the delicate balance of deterrence and diplomacy. The episode also looks at the limitations of sanctions, the impact of Ukraine’s use of drones on Russian infrastructure, and how China’s involvement complicates the situation further. Through this discussion, Andy and Mike highlight the complexity of modern military aid decisions and the broader geopolitical consequences of each move on the global stage.
