Maverick and Ninja team up for a second week in a row to discuss A2AD. What is it, how does it work, what are some of the weird or less-discussed elements making it. Lots of hypotheticals of how things could go in a China/Taiwan conflict and how that pertains to the rest of the region. Plus some sidebars on military/acquisitions challenges, problems on the horizon, and general cultural shifts that need to start (in our opinion). Shoutout MergeMerchant for sick songs.
As always, opinions are our own and not reflective of any US Government entity.
