Used to be a great show but host increasingly can’t help confusing facts and opinions when it comes to Trump and administration. Stick to the facts or admit it’s an opinion please.
Trump literally gathered the generals and casually declared war against half the country.
Threatened to turn American cities into “military training grounds”, by which he means urban warfare against an invented domestic enemy.
What more do people need to see to believe?

Air Power brings together top voices across government, industry and the military to unpack the most pressing issues in air and space power—with clarity, depth and real strategic relevance. Whether you’re in the defense community or simply want to better understand what shapes modern deterrence and air dominance, this podcast is essential listening.

As a strategy leader who’s been in the Defense industry for over 2 decades, I’ve been listening to the show for a couple of years now, and here’s my analysis:
1) The Tech report, Strategy series, AirPower, and Byron Callan’s Week Ahead podcasts are usually pretty good with little or no swampy bias — 4-5 stars for those
2) On the Business Roundtable, Rocket Ron is probably the most unbiased of the three…usually giving very objective perspective. Aboulafia is more swampy, and it tends to show in h... more
