Summary
This week on Rational Security, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by co-host emeriti Ben Wittes and Shane Harris for a very special anniversary edition of Rational Security that pits their national security hot takes up against each other.
Which of the following takes will the team find to be "too hot," which "undercooked," and which "just right"?
- Americans (and especially progressives) will regret reviving the prospect of disqualifying people under section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
- Over the next year, there will be a windfall of information regarding unidentified aerial phenomena, including some pointing to possible extraterrestrial origin.
- A President Ron Desantis won't be as dangerous as President Donald Trump.
- Russia's terminal decline presents one of the greatest threats to global security.
- American democracy will be saved by social conservative minorities voting for the Republican Party.
