from Western Standard Shows · host Western Standard

On this week’s episode of Hannaford, the former defence policy adviser and senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute laid out a stark timeline. Iran, he argues, may soon face a logistical crisis that could prove more decisive than any missile strike.
