Power Vertical Podcast Ep. 24
There’s danger for the West on the high seas.
From the Baltic in the north to the Black in the south, Russia has ramped up its maritime military posture and is aggressively testing NATO’s defenses.

To navigate these choppy waters, Brian Whitmore is joined by CEPA Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies LTG (Ret.) Ben Hodges on the latest Power Vertical podcast.
