Making National Defense Policy Accessible to All
Common Sense Defense
The Common Sense Defense Podcast allows defense policy to be accessible, relatable and easily understandable for the common everyday person.
Defense Priority
Our first priority is helping our Navy remain viable and increasingly lethal while it freezes the decommissioning of key platforms and builds additional naval combatants above current projections to deter the PRC's global ambitions.
Process
The Common Sense Defense Podcast compliments the book, China Rising: The Case for Containment which gives information about increasing the deterrence value of our Navy and the Common Sense Defense Podcast presents actions that can be taken by everyday Americans to increase the size of our Naval Battle Force as well as to enhance the efficiency of our National Defense.

China Rising: The Case for Containment
Explore what action the United States and its allies can take to address the rapid militarization of the South China Sea by the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and other military services.
Extract
China Rising: The Case For Containment focuses on developing a multi-domain approach to the defense structure in the Indo-Pacific region by offering modifications to current and future weapons systems development and deployment. It also provides pragmatic counters to the PLAN’s man-made islands, hypersonic weapons, aircraft, ships, and submarine forces. China Rising, The Case For Containment is divided into three sections: History & Policy, Technology and War, and The Economics of War. Each section takes a different approach to Chinese militarism and actions the US and its Allies can utilize to create interlocking systems to present a more efficient approach to contain China’s rapid rise.

Build Our Navy
Currently China’s Navy has more than 350 naval combatants against the U.S. Navy’s 296, even as we are planning to decommission over 10 naval combatants for each of the next five years.
Strategic Problem
Unfortunately, by 2027 with possible tensions between the PRC and the U.S. over Taiwan, China will have over 440 naval combatants against our 285. With the current projections the U.S. is heading toward a NAVAL BATTLEFORCE EMERGENCY.
The Solution
Ask Congress to place a 5 year freeze on decommissioning ships and for an additional $15 Billion dollars per year to Build Our Navy.
