In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with former Green Beret and military veteran Nick Freitas for a conversation on modern warfare, Iran, China, terrorism, the crisis of Western confidence, and the future of Christendom.
Freitas explains the realities of asymmetric warfare, arguing that America’s greatest enemies are often not stronger militarily, but better able to exploit the political, cultural, and psychological weaknesses of democratic societies. Using examples from Vietnam, Iraq, Gaza, Iran, and Ukraine, he explores why public opinion, media narratives, and civilian casualties have become central battlegrounds in modern conflict.
We discuss the war with Iran, regime change, nation-building, the failures of Western interventionism, and why authoritarian regimes often possess strategic advantages that democracies struggle to counter. Freitas also examines the role of international institutions, the UN, NATO, and whether the West’s commitment to liberal values has unintentionally created vulnerabilities that its adversaries now exploit.
Finally, we explore faith, masculinity, family, and the collapse of the post-war consensus.
