The Hopeless Show with Aaron Wolf & Rohit Thawani

Aaron sits down with John Spencer, an urban warfare military strategist, combat veteran, and widely featured war expert seen on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, and more, to hear things you've never heard on what most people are getting wrong about Iran. And how John thinks differently, from in school to in the trenches.  Plus how modern conflict is actually analyzed, and why the gap between battlefield reality and public narrative keeps getting wider. For more conversation with John Spencer on the Middle East, Ukraine and what it's like to be on the ground, please listen to Episode 138.
