Some serious Georgetown love here.
I dunno. Became pretty heated when Colin got annoyed over Matt’s timeline claims.
I noticed that moment too.
What did you think of Kroenig’s appeals to the history of Cold War crises? Struck me as unpersuasive, esp. since the Cuban missile crisis was the only one he mentioned by name, leaving him open to the rebuttal that it was an outlier in terms of closeness-to-nuclear-escalation (bad phrase but you know what I mean).
