It Was a Very Good Year

This week Radha, Loren, and Erin sit down to try and figure out just what the hell happened in 2018. Storm clouds gather as the ladies discuss what NatSec stories we missed - and what we’ll still be talking about in 10 years. But Radha brings the sunshine as we discuss the most important events for the military services in 2018 (which sadly has not resulted in any Space Marines). We wrap up with a review of the Administration’s secret villains and heroes and put a bow on it with movie plot lines that best capture 2018.  Links "," War on the Rocks Keith Bradsher and Ailin Tang, "," War on the Rocks Sophie Richardson, "." Washington Post Heidi Blake, Tom Warren, Richard Holmes, Jason Leopold, Jane Bradley, Alex Campbell, "," BuzzFeed News Alex Horton, "." Washington Post Gina Harkins, "," Military.com Lara Seligman, "," Foreign Policy Paul Scharre, "," Foreign Policy Michael C.
