Jared Knott, a decorated combat infantry officer who served in Vietnam and a geopolitical analyst, joins the program to discuss the wars unfolding worldwide and the forces driving seemingly endless conflict.This conversation takes a different direction as Sarah and Knott openly debate the causes of war and whether the United States should be involved at all. They examine Vladimir Putin’s intentions and sharply disagree over whether he is a stable leader protecting Russia’s strategic interests or a power-hungry aggressor with broader ambitions in Europe.  This is not a typical episode.   At times, the conversation becomes a genuine debate—but rather than retreating into comfortable silos, Sarah and Knott remain engaged. Despite their disagreements, they find enough common ground to have a meaningful and substantive discussion about some of the most consequential issues of our time. It is the kind of honest conversation that should happen far more often.You can purchase his best-selling book “Tiny Blunders and Big Disasters – The Tiny Mistakes that Changed the World Forever” at TinyBlundersBigDisasters.comSign up for the Newsletter and see exclusives now located at WestallMedia.com or still at SarahWestall.substack.com
