Noah Smith, author of the Noahpinion Substack, returns to The Realignment. Noah and Marshall discuss the likely Biden vs. Trump contest in November, the challenges facing the U.S.-led alliance system, the state of America's defense industrial base, the future of warfare through the lens of Ukraine, how democracies can deter autocratic aggression, and how to actually accomplish the industrial policy aims of the CHIPS Act and IRA.
