In this episode, we spend a fair amount of time discussing news from the Ukraine Defense Contact Group Meeting #9. We use the DOD Transcript from Brussels as the source document. Also, we discuss Latvia's increase in defense spending (up to 3% GDP in the future) to purchase materiel such as M142 HIMARS and Naval Strike Missiles. We also discuss a story about the Finland and Sweden bid to join NATO. Finally, we talk about the "Object" over Lake Huron in Michigan- this time being shot down by an F16 fighter.
