Show Notes

In this episode, John Amble speaks with Chris Dougherty of the Center for a New American Security.

What they concluded was that the best option is something they describe as “the poison frog strategy.” Listen as he describes what that entails, and why it's the most viable means of implementing deterrence against China.
