    How Ukraine Put Russia on the Backfoot
    Jul 21 2026

    Ukraine's expanding use of drones at all ranges has changed the war's momentum. This episode examines how Kyiv is reaching deeper into Russian territory, disrupting operations and logistics as well as energy infrastructure. How is Russia adapting (or not)? Can these strikes produce lasting advantages on the battlefield? Will this force Russia to escalate? Mike Kofman and Dara Massicot join Ryan to discuss.

  • How a Team of Marines Built the Corps' FPV Drone Training Program from a Cold Start

    How a Team of Marines Built the Corps' FPV Drone Training Program from a Cold Start
    Jul 1 2026

    Last fall, the U.S. Marine Corps had virtually no first-person view attack drones. That's changed quickly. This episode is about how a team of marines at Weapons Training Battalion at Quantico went from a cold start to building a Marine Corps-wide first-person view drone training system. Ryan was pleased to welcome some great marines onto the show: Col. Scott Cuomo, CWO5 Steve Pearsoll, CWO3 (Gunner) Troy Hotaling, GySgt Jude Stewart, GySgt Justin Creasman, and Sgt Timothy Brockup.

    Since we recorded this episode, Cuomo has changed command and is off to his next exciting assignment.

  • Is Time on China's Side? Beijing's Taiwan Calculus and the Balance of Power

    Is Time on China's Side? Beijing's Taiwan Calculus and the Balance of Power
    Jun 4 2026
    When is the risk of war the highest? And what should the United States be doing about it? One of the most important but underappreciated questions in international politics is how states think about the future balance of power. Countries that believe their position is improving often choose patience. Those who fear their position is deteriorating may feel pressure to act before their advantages disappear. In this episode, Ryan is joined by Dean Cheng, Mira Rapp-Hooper, and Amanda Hsiao to explore how Chinese leaders may be thinking about time, power, and Taiwan.
