In this episode, John Amble speaks to Sandor Fabian about a very specific approach to national defense: resistance. The war in Ukraine has made clear that comparatively small states can be vulnerable to the threat of aggression from larger neighbors.

And if small US allies choose to do so, it would have important implications for US special operations forces and for NATO.
