America’s Military at Risk? Admiral Stavridis on the NYT’s Shocking ‘Overmatch’ Report

from The Smerconish Podcast · host James Stavridis, Michael Smerconish

Michael Smerconish sits down with Admiral James Stavridis—former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO—to break down the intensifying debate over the U.S. boat strike: the moral questions, the legal stakes, the intelligence lost, and why the tape’s release matters.
