Important facts left out
I’m referring to the segment on hypersonic weapons. First, I have heard from other sources that the U.S. has held back from developing these weapons to avoid an arms race. This was never mentioned in the podcast. Second, if China was worried about about the U.S. missile defense systems then they could have developed their own. Instead they are developing a first strike weapon (a term that the podcast conveniently never used). The conclusion of this podcast was that it’s really the United States fault that China is building hypersonic weapons because the U.S. develops missile defense systems. No balance was offered. It’s better to know nothing about a subject than to get a biased version.

Superbly scripted, edited, produced and highly informative podcast. Very accessible and intelligent. If you actually want to learn things give this pod a chance.

Meh
This is all very basic stuff 98% of Americans already know - and it’s essentially an anti-Nuclear gal telling us all the reasons we should be terrified.

Our foreign policy thinkers are now gen Z speculating about nuclear policy.
