Peter (the host of this show) wrote the "tear down this wall" speech for President Reagan. That is such an amazing accomplishment. Frankly, I would have never guessed he wrote it. He is such a curious yet down to Earth guy.

The USA spends more on defence than any other Country and they keep saying you need to spend more. Is it that the funds your DOD have, are badly spent or misspent?

Unbelievably wonderful discussion. Why can't our politicians show this much to and fro and grip.

Interesting, but the shoutover fests and unecessary interruptions detracted.

I am not sure the "we just need to build more ships!" thinking makes sense any more. Way back in 1980 in the Falklands war, the French Exocet missiles gave the British a scare with its effectiveness. I will speculate that anti ship missiles and drones have just gotten an order of magnitude better now. Those giant ships seem like Big Grey Targets now.

From this discussion, it seems that China is in a strong strategic position and is prepared and the US looks pretty lost and vulnerable. A very bullish discussion for China to make its big strategic moves, take over Taiwan and change the world order with the US as loser. US has weak, divided leadership and is in a highly dangerous place right now.

Any commented grumbling that "it's all about the money" really has no idea why they have it so good in America. You are so coddled and comfortable. Colby is so FoS and constantly putting words in people's mouths. He sounds like a climate change hysteric except about China.

Good interviews. Obviously it’s a matter of we know what the problem/s is/are but don’t agree with how to solve. Peter is a real moderator!

Was really hoping for Robinson to dust off his inner Reagan and say "Mr. Colby, let this man speak!"
