Description
On this episode of War, Economy, and State, Ryan McMaken and Zachary Yost take a look at the Biden administration's new National Security Strategy. The Biden plan is to intervene everywhere and always across the entire globe. In fact, the plan absurdly says "nothing is beyond" the US's capacity to remake the global order.
