When Realism Becomes Defeatism

In this episode of Firing Lane, we take aim at the latest attempt to redefine surrender as strategy. J.D. Vance and his ilk are dressing up capitulation as realism, but is that actually strategy, or just an excuse to fold before negotiations even begin? We break down why true realism means securing the best possible outcome—not telegraphing retreat and calling it wisdom.

From the history of failed "peace deals" to the way American foreign policy keeps repeating the same mistakes, we examine how Vance’s approach ensures not peace, but the next war. And just for fun, we’ll discuss what happens when a Twitter populist calls a world-class historian "historically illiterate"—because nothing says 'thought leader' like ignoring the past entirely.

If you’re tired of weak men calling cowardice and resignation strategy, this is the episode for you.
