America’s depleted arsenal and military readiness concerns
Season 2026
Episode 30
America’s military uses the world’s most advanced and sought-after weapons. But months of war with Iran have diminished the stockpile, limiting options and the ability to defend allies. Could America’s adversaries exploit this moment? Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses what the military’s new limitations mean for readiness with Bill LaPlante, Randy Schriver and Celeste Wallander.
