Erik explains what we should have done differently in Afghanistan, outlining a plan that would have saved trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives while actually eliminating the Taliban. He also discusses his proposal to avert the Russian invasion of Ukraine for less than $1 billion by sending Ukraine obsolete American aircraft - including the A-10, which was designed to take on the very same tanks Russia used in its invasion.

The episode concludes with Erik's strategy for replacing the failed Neocon ideology with a common-sense approach to foreign policy: Make our enemies fear us, our friends love us, and our rivals respect us.
