This week on Rational Security: We speculate wildly on how China’s economic free fall could affect U.S. national security? What does international law have to say about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? And the Secret Service gets upset when a drone flies near President Obama while he’s playing golf. Plus, Shane spots a drone near New York City, and I offer an important textbook on countering violent extremism with barbeque.
