The latest CSBA report analyzes the history and underappreciated potential of the NATO intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) enterprise: Diamond in the Rough: The Past, Present, and Future of NATO’s ISR Force | CSBA csbaonline.org/research/publi…

Should we encourage China to emphasize global power projection (hoping it imposes some costs and creates new vulnerabilities) or discourage it (because it could undermine US influence and prestige)? I've heard both arguments for years, but it suddenly seems more relevant.

Eric Edelman and @EliotACohen discuss Trump's effort to replicate his Venezuela playbook and the search for an Iranian Delcy Rodríguez, the intricacies of the Iranian succession, and the potential for the regular army to seize leadership of the country. zurl.co/9Wqn5

A new @CSBAdc report from me on reconciling the growing demands of military competition against China with legacy threats from other rivals--or, how I was thinking about all of this as of late last week😬 csbaonline.org/research/publi…

Check out CSBA Counselor Eric Edelman's special episode of The Shield of the Republic with @EliotACohen on @BulwarkOnline open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

I have been recommending this report since it came out. It's a really great read, puts in perspective the limitations of easy solution, and points to the inadequacy of stocks of precision munitions.

New piece from myself and @ToshiYoshihara that draws on our recent @TWQgw article.
