The Joint Geeks of Staff are back from mid-season hiatus! Claude Berube (@cgberube) returns with historian of colonialism Annie Muirhead (@LariaHoD), cinematographer, sci-fi superfan, and podcaster extraordinaire Andy Poulastides (@Andy3E), and professor, historian, and merchant mariner Sal Mercogliano (@mercoglianos) for a retrospective look at the show “The Expanse.” What can we learn about competing great powers, the lawless seas, and the militarization of space from this great sci-fi franchise? Should merchant vessels be armed? How will non-state actors affect trade security and international cooperation moving forward?
