Episode notes
Uncertain Iranian Munitions Stockpile Limits War Duration
- Iran's drone and missile stocks are contested: some analysts say they're running down, others estimate tens of thousands remain.
- Tira Shubat outlines the two schools of thought and warns that production will fall after current stocks are expended.
International Ban On Aggression Depends On Collective Will
- Postwar prohibition on the use of force depends on collective respect because there's no international police to enforce it.
- Patrick Wall warns repeated violations erode the rule, risking a return to 'might makes right' and instability across hotspots like Taiwan or India-Pakistan.
Call Out Violations To Preserve Postwar Order
- Reaffirm the prohibition on aggressive force and call out violations promptly to preserve postwar stability.
- Patrick Wall urges leaders to publicly condemn breaches now to prevent erosion that could make conflicts like China-Taiwan more likely.
