Is the US Military Losing it's Edge? | ft. Dr. Sean McFate

If Americans are drawn into major armed conflict, can we win? The answer is unclear. The US Military hasn't won a war since the 1940s and seems blind to the changes happening all around them. The age of the aircraft carrier and fighter jet is over, but its proponents in Washington won't give it up. Instead, they are hell-bent on pursuing failed strategies no longer relevant in a world of drones, mercenaries, and shadow wars. In this episode, we interview Professor Sean McFate, author of "The New Rules of War" and discuss how the US can prepare for the future of warfare. We discuss the rise of mercenary armies, what Israel is doing right (and wrong), how America can win against Russia and China, and Biden's reckless escalation of the war in Ukraine.   Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Prelude 03:04 - Welcome Dr. Sean McFate 03:56 - How opera & war go hand-in-hand 06:44 - The misconceptions of General Stanley McChrystal 09:32 - How Billy Mitchell predicted Pearl Harbor 15 years before it happened 13:36 - The concept of "Durable Disorder" 20:05 - Why did Biden escalate the conflict in Ukraine? 23:52 - Dealing with current hostile regimes 27:57 - The new rules of modern warfare 32:33 - How should we use our assets in war? 37:57 - Why the US should start dumpster fires instead of wars 40:50 - Are mercenaries the way of the future? 45:29 - Will the US hire mercenaries instead of using their soldiers? 48:51 - Should we send mercenaries to Mexico? 50:48 - What is Israel doing right & wrong? 57:23 - How is China currently waging war against the US 01:02:40 - Thoughts on Pete Hegseth as Sec Def 01:05:54 - Will China invade Taiwan? 01:12:29 - Outro   Watch this on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G38mpciBmxU Follow us on X: Austin - https://x.com/a_brawn Cody - https://x.com/CodyShirk
