“I just listened to the interview with Fred Kagan about the situation in Ukraine, and thought it was exemplary. The way that the two of them moved from the granular details of unit organization to policy implications for Taiwan, from the present moment to the extended timeline, was fluid, insightful, and nuanced. Here and elsewhere, MacLean sets up his guests with good, open questions, and gets out of their way. Such a deep commitment to inquiry, to acknowledging one’s own error while providing it with rational context, to admitting to limitations in one’s thought while still striving to make testable hypotheses— this dialogue is done in a spirit of truth-seeking that is sorely missing from critical discussions today.”
