Our guest this week is a former naval officer and well-recognized figure in defense blogging circles. Going by the pseudonym Commander Salamander, he has been a persistent, impassioned, and educated voice talking about national security matters, geopolitics, and all things connected to sea power. Sal is also incredibly funny, and a delightful interlocutor. Join Kate and Michael as we ask Sal to guide us through our current global situation, and what a Navy brings to the table in regards to the current geopolitical situation.
