@PLA_MilitaryUpd There is only one carrier Strike Group in the region, the Abraham Lincoln currently in the Arabian Sea. The USS Geeorge Bush is in its home port of Norfolk, Va. The USS Theodore Roosevelt is in San Diego.

Excellent analysis from @Justin_Br0nk on the dangers of relying on the lessons currently being learnt in the Russia-Ukraine war for the next war, especially one centred on the Pacific.

I wrote this for Foreign Affairs on why the US Military’s most serious Chinese capability problems in the Indo-Pacific cannot be solved with “cheap massed drones”: https://t.co/y5GGon5IZc

President Donald Trump has announced plans for a new generation of US missile defense. But is it a good idea—or even possible?

Al Jazeera's @AlexGatopoulos explains ⤵️

[Alex Gatopoulos @AlexGatopoulos]

@RupprechtDeino @lylegoldstein Extraordinary behaviour, @RupprechtDeino your work has always been finely balanced, you don't strike me as a 'friend' or 'enemy', just a nuanced expert.
Time for cold water on the back of the neck.

Came across a Russian convoy on the road between #Damascus and #Homs #Syria. Retreating in good order. They turned off to #Tartus presumably to ship out.

Al Jazeera finds the UK has flown nearly half the reconnaissance missions over Gaza since the genocide began.

This is more than double Israel itself.

Britain is a participant and leads in providing intelligence for the genocide.

This has never been reported in a UK newspaper.
