To discuss America’s brand new war — plus Hegseth vs Anthropic — we are joined by Emmy Prabasco from CSET, Henry Farrell of Johns Hopkins, Penn professor Mike Horowitz, and Bryan Clark from the Hudson Institute.

Our conversation covers…

The role of “precise mass” on both the US and Iranian sides,

Why the IRGC can keep fighting despite leadership decapitations, and whether US operations will lead to protracted conflict,

What China is learning by watching the US military in action,

How Anthropic’s red lines would fit into the culture of the Pentagon,

How China benefits from Anthropic’s blacklisting.
