"Gruntpa" returns to the virtual bar for a discussion on the mentality required to succeed in the worst possible scenario, and why most don't have it and never will. Having spent time in Iraq, we revisit some of our time there and the evolution into a more anti-war stance and why.

Picking up where part 1 leaves off, we continue discussing how current foreign policy goals are achieved while dealing with recruiting shortages and a newer, less willing to serve generation. There is still a road to victory against geopolitical rivals like China as Ross lays out. We then get into a theological discussion of Antichrist AI, Roko's Basilisk, as well as some light hearted hope in that Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise will save the world some day as only they are best equipped with the Hollywood experience to do so. Grab a glass!

Ross Kennedy identifies that logistics is a map of human intent, which will inevitably reveal the intent and needs of the stakeholders. In Part 1  we discuss how China became the manufacturing engine of the world, what a conventional war with China might look like, the motivation behind the calculated weakening of the West, and just who would want to sign up to carry out this new era of policy. Part 2 coming. Grab a glass!
