Zack White did it again, producing another superb podcast - I admit a topic where I have little interest at, but nevertheless a fascinating and thought provoking talk by Nick Kaizer, wow impressive.
Despite the ongoing success story of the Royal Navy, it shows how prone for self indulgence any institution could become - due to overestimating ones own capabilities and to underestimate an opponent, a bit like Boney 😉
