My take on what the administration needs to do to shore up U.S extended deterrence commitments @CSIS @csis_isp @csisponi csis.org/analysis/futur…

🧵 WATCH | What would happen if the US had to fight China and North Korea simultaneously? In a new @ACScowcroft report, @Mister_G_2 dissects the implications of a two-front war and nuclear escalation in East Asia. 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🇰🇵 Read the report: ➡️ bit.ly/3OYAD1i

Hacking Nuclear Stability: 3 years of wargames, 500+ players. We find danger of cyber for nuclear stability is not in how it creates uncertainty but instead in misplaced certainty, counterforce & accidents @bhschechter @rachaelmshaffer @IntOrgJournal cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Terrific conversation at @CSIS on the strategic & military significance of AUKUS with Dr Kurt Campbell and @USNavyCNO ADM Michael Gilday. Covered deterrence, $$, shipbuilding, export controls, and nuclear stewardship🇺🇸🇦🇺🇬🇧 Full video of the discussion 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=UQQIox…

Sydney Seiler on @Mister_G_2's question about North Korea's position on the U.S.-China conflict: "The idea that we have to worry about North Korea's behavior during any crisis over Taiwan is quite straightforward, and it's a no brainer." Watch live here: youtube.com/watch?v=q1S9jp…

Enjoyed running into these young missileers from @malmstromafb in the halls of the Pentagon last week. They said they were visiting DC to see all the future job opportunities available to them—we’ll keep some space open for you when you’re ready.

In my 1st w/ @ACScowcroft: following @POTUS @President_KR declaration& @USCongress address I argue for the 🇰🇷🇺🇸 to 🛑 militarily respond to 🇰🇵missile launches, Instead➡️focus on combined capabilities. Many thx to @AtlanticCouncil @Mister_G_2 @cfchyba atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atla…

Washington Declaration is a step in the right direction, but certainly doesn’t solve the broader deterrence and assurance challenges at hand @CSIS @csisponi @CSISKoreaChair @csis_isp

Deeper integration with allies and between nuclear and conventional planning is good for deterrence, and good for assurance

I shared a few thoughts yesterday w @AFP on the US-ROK Washington Declaration along w @frankaum1 @naokoaoki Pointed out that the agreement “is first and foremost about assuring South Korea and proving to Seoul that the US nuclear umbrella is credible” news.yahoo.com/us-korea-boost…

China’s nuclear expansion and Russia’s suspension of the last major nuclear treaty create a new strategic reality, one potentially far less stable than the Cold War. An exploration, with two of the best: ⁦@WilliamJBroad⁩ and ⁦@ChuBailiang⁩. nytimes.com/2023/04/19/us/…

Huge shout out to @heatherwilly for moderating such a far reaching convo! And to @NikoAdamopoulos for making it all happen!

“But in any case, we should never forget about one thing, at least for us, from my perspective as from the IAEA. Our objective is to account for the material, so we need to have the tools, the safeguard tools that would allow us to do that…” END
