Listen "Tom Nichols: Radicalization of the Armed Forces"
Episode Synopsis
Charlie Sykes welcomes Atlantic writer Tom Nichols for a fiery, wide-ranging conversation on a week that felt pulled from a dystopian novel. From a U.S. Senator being manhandled at a press conference to Trump’s military parade dreams and the radicalization of the armed forces, Nichols warns of authoritarian drift masked as political theater. They also dig into Israel’s bold strike on Iran, and whether the world is stumbling into a war it won't be able to control. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
