America’s Military at Risk? Admiral Stavridis on the NYT’s Shocking ‘Overmatch’ Report

Michael Smerconish sits down with Admiral James Stavridis—former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO—to break down the intensifying debate over the U.S. boat strike: the moral questions, the legal stakes, the intelligence lost, and why the tape’s release matters. Stavridis also reacts to the New York Times’ startling “Overmatch” report, which warns that America could be vulnerable in a future conflict with China. From Ukraine’s battlefield innovations to the future of aircraft carriers, drones, and U.S. military readiness, this is a wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss.
