Episode Notes:

Bryan Daugherty unpacks his recent article, "10 Ukrainians Humbled Two NATO Battalions." Bryan argues that NATO must confront hard questions about its pace of innovation, institutional structures, and standards to absorb lessons Ukraine has mastered in recent years. He highlights NATO initiatives that show real progress toward faster, more creative innovation, while identifying areas where the alliance still needs to improve.
