I was more enthused by last year's episode with Sarah. In particular I find some of her arguments somewhat dogmatic?
I think you poke at some logical inconsistencies in what she argues for, which she deflects by saying "but it's the Eastern world they don't mind being illogical!" when that wasn't quite your point.
Anyway in particular one thing I would've liked more clarity on is why not compromise with an opponent with unlimited goals. I mean sure, I get it didn't work out well when we tried it with the Nazis.
But goals can be scaled back. Without much thinking I'd argue the Korean was started with unlimited aims on both sides and ended with compromise on both sides.
I don't understand why it is that compromise must backfire, and in any case, if one was to expect a resuming of hostilities, what prevents one from preparing to the eventuality?
Curious if there's a source for this? Seems incredible if true
> Another thing, when MacArthur does his Incheon landings, it's very tricky because the tides are, I don't know how many feet, like 30-foot tides. It's enormous. So you can really get stuck on mud flats if you don't time that right and know where you’re going. Who are the pilots to bring it all in? It's Japanese.

YouTube really decided to just kill this in the algorithm… really sad, was an amazing episode
