Sign up for the newsletter and see exclusives now at WestallMedia.com or still at SarahWestall.Substack.com Jared Knott, a decorated combat infantry officer who served in Vietnam and a geopolitical analyst, joins the program to discuss the wars unfolding around the world and the forces he believes are 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 how his leadership and Russia’s strategic objectives should be understood, including the broader implications for Europe and international security. 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.
