Here at The Remnant, we strive to cover pressing issues that matter. Not content with copying and pasting other folk’s reporting, we go straight to the sources ourselves to bring their words to your ears. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the topics that matters most to our nation, and to the world: the Annapolis Cup Croquet Match. You think we’re kidding, but we’re not.
But don’t worry—if bombs, bullets, and dead ayatollahs are more your thing, we’ve got you covered too. School of War podcast host Aaron MacLean joins Jonah Goldberg to discuss, in addition to croquet, what happened in Iran, isolationism, sovereigntism, Machiavelli, Chris Donahue, Palantir, Pentagon purges, failures in the Middle East, warrior culture, careerism, and the lessons our adversaries are taking away from Iran.
