Joel Gaines - "The Glory Of God"
Joel Gaines stopped by the virtual bar. He is a former Army Intelligence Expert with a Russia area of focus, author of Chaos Terrain, and helps run War Lizard Tactical. Joel shares his experience coming up during the Cold War era inside the US Army Intelligence community, as well as the shift to Desert Storm and his involvement. Joel gives some unique insight into the Russia-Ukraine war, the issues plaguing Russia's military, and what the inevitable outcome might look like. We also get into the psyche of Saddam Hussein and theorize why he took the actions he did following the Iran-Iraq War. We also get into his personal inspiration for War Lizard Tactical as well as the concept behind Chaos Terrain. You can follow Joel on Twitter @joelgaines and visit www.warlizardtactical.com.
