4-6-26 - 10am - What Is An American Life Worth and Tehran Power Grid

In this episode, Michael discusses the strategic implications of the US military's actions in Iran, specifically a recent rescue mission that saved a downed airman. He contrasts this with the US leaving behind billions of dollars' worth of equipment in Afghanistan. Michael also delves into the concept of reversible disruption, a strategy that could be used to target Iran's electrical grid without causing permanent damage. He explains the grid's structure and how targeting specific nodes could achieve a blackout without catastrophic consequences. This conversation explores the complexities of modern warfare and the importance of understanding the strategic value of reversible disruption.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
