13:48Now PlayingIn this episode of Meidas Defense, Marine Corps veteran Joe Plenzler speaks with Mark Cancian, Senior Adviser at CSIS and retired Marine Corps Colonel, about what Cancian calls a major strategic failure in the Strait of Hormuz. While the administration is touting tactical victories against Iran, Cancian warns that the world’s most important energy chokepoint remains effectively closed to regular shipping. The conversation breaks down how Iran used mines, drones, missiles, speedboats, and asymmetric tactics to challenge U.S. naval power despite America’s overwhelming conventional advantage. Joe and Mark also examine the administration’s failure to explain its escalating wars, its massive defense budget request, and the gap between battlefield destruction and actual strategy. This is a blunt warning that tactical wins mean little when the enemy gets a vote — and America is caught unprepared.
