Description
Is the National Defense Strategy actually a strategy? Melanie, Chris, and Zack debate the Biden administration’s recently released National Defense Strategy.

And Zack thanks his teammates from the Alliance for Securing Democracy. Episode Reading:  https://warontherocks.com/2022/11/debating-the-national-defense-strategy
