YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSeveral years ago, I gave a talk at the New York Military Affairs Symposium. It was a good talk, but it was necessary to re-record it. There's no Q&A, but the presentation has been updated a bit with more recent work and references.
The original, with the Q&A session at the end, is still available here.
