Summary

This episode analyzes NATO’s new "Theory of Victory" presented by General Grinkiewicz at the Warsaw Security Forum, focusing on its three pillars: stop, degrade, and destroy. Guests Admiral Rob Bauer, Julian Smith, and General Ben Hodges discuss the strategic messaging, hybrid warfare threats, and US force posture reviews. Polish General Mieczysław Gocuł offers a critical perspective, arguing that the strategy lacks sufficient pragmatism and fails to explicitly name Russia as an enemy.
