Today's episode is out of cycle, but as the issues under discussion are the very essence of timely, we wanted to bring them to you as soon as possible. Our conversation is with Bloomberg's Global Defense Editor Gerry Doyle. Gerry is at the forefront of coverage of the wars in Iran and Ukraine and much else around the world when it comes to defense and security. We go deep on key trends and lessons learned from Iran and also on how the war in Ukraine is changing the global defense industry in locations as varied as Estonia and South Korea. Gerry is also the author of Carrier Killer: China's Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles and Theater of Operations in the early 21st Century.
I’m doubly pleased to welcome Gerry to the podcast as we are both proud University of Kansas Jayhawks havinggraduated in the same class long ago – “rock chalk” as they say in Lawrence, Kansas.
