    MOU 404
    Jun 30 2026

    The US-Iran MOU is humiliating, it was signed at Versailles, and its still not on any government website. In fact, if you try a .gov keyword search for Iran's commitment to not build nuclear weapons, the top result is Obama's 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

    Aaron and Jeffrey work through why Trump was right to quit while he was behind, why continuing the fight wouldn't have changed a single comma, and why, weeks later, you still can't find the thing on state.gov.

    From Satan to Sarmat
    May 28 2026

    Russia tested the RS-28 Sarmat heavy ICBM, which will replace the
    SS-18/RS-36M Satan.

    What's it for?

    Aaron and Jeffrey talk about the
    role of heavy ICBMs, the foundational assumption for counterforce, the
    rise of orbital bombardment systems (FOBS!!!!!!!!), the collapse of
    the ABM Treaty and the future of space-based interceptors.
