The pair begin the podcast unpacking the key findings from the wargame — as well as the fundamental lessons for Western military strategists.
Kuper and Garman then discuss Taiwan’s prevailing military doctrine including the Porcupine Strategy and irregular warfare capabilities.
The podcast wraps up with an assessment of whether the CCP is a revisionist power, or whether it now operates as part of the global system to supplant the US as the global hegemon.

Enjoy the podcast,
