Description

Michael Smerconish sits down with Admiral James Stavridis to unpack the explosive controversy surrounding a September military strike now under congressional investigation. Drawing on his experience as former Supreme Allied Commander at NATO, Stavridis breaks down the chain of command, the laws of war, the role of the Secretary of Defense, and why missing video footage raises serious questions. Together, they examine whether orders were lawful, what accountability should look like, and why oversight is essential as new details emerge. A deep, clear, and urgent conversation about military ethics, civilian control, and the fog of war. Original air date 3 December 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
