About this listen

Germany. Japan. Vietnam. Afghanistan. Iraq. Russia. Gaza. The country that starts a major war almost never wins it — and the pattern is so consistent it's basically a law of modern warfare. In this episode, Nick walks through the historical record, breaks down why aggressors keep failing, and then takes on the counterarguments head-on. What about Venezuela? What about Crimea? What about Gulf War 1? Spoiler: those examples don't hold up the way you think they do. And with Trump already eyeing Cuba as his next target, this conversation couldn't be more urgent.
