while we all wait to see what happens next.
After the break, we talk with Tom Nichols about what the war watch might look like inside of the Pentagon.
Tom, welcome to the show.
Okay, so let's say you're a general inside the Pentagon right now.
What are you thinking at this moment about Iran?
What calculations are you making?
And why is that an important set of questions?
Are those operational questions?
Because we know what weapons and ships we need.
Why is that the main calculation?
Because it seems like a political question.
So why is it a military question?
So here's what was confusing to me about the news about General Dan Cain, which you mentioned.
The way he put it was any operations against Iran will face challenges because the U.S.
munitions stockpile has been depleted by defense of Israel and support for Ukraine.
Can you analyze that for me?
That's not about what you just said.
That's about something very specific.
How much munitions do we have?
