We break down the latest U.S. diplomacy with Russia and Ukraine, Iran’s missile threat to American warships, and the growing strain on U.S. Patriot and THAAD interceptor stockpiles. We also look at what the wars in Ukraine and Iran are exposing about America’s defense industrial base, autonomous warfare, and whether the Pentagon can adapt fast enough for a potential conflict with China.
