The recurrent attacks by Hamas on Israel are existential. Even when you rely on the questionable numbers given by Hamas, the ratio of civilian to combatant casualties is likely the lowest in the history of warfare. IDF is understandably cautious but saying they are indiscriminate or that the war is simply an example of collective punishment is untrue. The host never challenges the guest.

Very disappointing episode. Trump certainly wasn’t perfect and his approach to foreign policy was not conventional. Yet he accomplished some positives and some negatives. Biden is the return to the norm- some positive some negatives. The biggest negative being the US will bear the brunt of cost. The guest go from an acceptable conversation of what Biden has done to a rant on how wrong Trumps approach was. Frankly Trump was right to sanction Russia AND tell Europe to begin paying the price agreed to by Obama.

This is the perfect choice for anyone interested in learning more about foreign policy! Each episode is informative and enjoyable.

Walt’s evident answer for solving great power rivalry is to dissolve NATO and elect a Republican as President. None of Prof Walt’s total critiques of NATO and Biden would hold up if an objective expert had been in the room.

The TDS is strong in this one!

The guests are always compelling and clearly know what they’re talking about. John Glaser is a fantastic host

This is one of the best IR/foreign policy podcasts out there. I look forward to every episode.

I can’t believe he’s a professor. He doesn’t know the first thing about Vietnam, Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan.

Love all foreign policy and IR stuff but particularly the discussions on civil-military relations.

Love it and Hate it. I enjoy the focus on liberty in domestic policy and find the foreign relations application prone to failure. Surprised to hear governance experts supporting CVN-71 CO, but maybe that is a libertarian policy error.

Truly great pod. Either intro music goes on too long or it needs to be more muted when the host begins talking. They sound more clashing than complementary.

This podcast has the best takes on non-interventionist policy out of any political organization.

Awesome great

This show covers a range of interesting topics and is always timely and topical. I especially like hearing how guests came to be interested in foreign and defense policy as a career. Give it a listen!

I’m by no means a international affairs wink but I find this skeptical view of US foreign policy to be helpful for me to understand the world and news around me.

This is really the best international relations / defense podcast out there, and it’s still so new! They have great guests and it is very well produced.

Two rockstars! Smart on the issues, witty on the delivery. Must listen podcast for the international relations & national security minded.

This podcast is really well-produced. It sounds good and I'm enjoying the insights.
