Rational Security: The "Mother May I Launch a Missile" Edition

Should the president have the sole authority to launch nuclear missiles? President Trump designates North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism. And the “grownups” in charge of national security are exhausted. Plus I am thankful that the Baby Cannon has a new uncle. Susan is thankful for the men and women of the intelligence community—and for her fellow podcasters. Tamara is thankful for our student listeners. And Shane is thankful for his mom.
