It unmasks the vulnerability of the US and its allies to first strikes and serves as a sobering wake-up call to the failure of deterrence. There is a need to be serious about sending bullies a clear and lasting message and mobilizing society to the specter of a very real war.   Get your copies of John Antal’s books:    Next War: https://amzn.to/48TXXoP   Leadership Rising: https://amzn.to/48MHzqh   7 Seconds to Die: https://amzn.to/3M0xCvq   Check out Next War on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSKRH_UqSko   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-clubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
