Czech President Pavel: “I don’t think China has a real interest to resolve the war in a short time.”

“I believe that it is in China’s interest to prolong the status quo because it can push Russia to a number of concessions.”

“China’s goals, according to the leaked assessment, are far more advanced. They would seek to knock out the ability of satellites, which tend to operate in interconnected clusters, to communicate with each other, to relay signals and orders to weapons systems, or to send back visual and intercepted electronic data, according to experts.”

[Theresa Fallon @TheresaAFallon]

China is building sophisticated cyber weapons to “seize control” of enemy satellites, rendering them useless for data signals or surveillance during wartime, according to a leaked US intelligence report.”

Most in the west don't understand how "decoupling" is likely to work in practice — and the perverse unintended consequences of moving production around the world, what I call the "decoupling delusion"

A quick piece from me in @ft and a short 🧵

A “cyber systems journeyman” in civilian-speak for “the IT guy.” As such, this airman would have likely been charged with ensuring operations of SIPR (secure internet protocol routers) computer networks, which is used to pass classified info. Yes, he would have had a clearance.

It means a lot to hear from intelligence professionals that one’s research is meaningful

That’s why I was humbled to receive this advance praise for my book #Spies from ⁦@BelferCenter⁩ colleague, Paul Kolbe 👇

Signed, sealed and almost delivered! #FinlandinNATO

A Strategy Reading List

Some Twitter friends asked for a strategy-related reading list. Here are some thoughts. I've focused on books that may be a bit off the beaten path. Clausewitz, Politics Among Nations, etc. should be on any good list!

Here goes...1/

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

LOL. Remember when @tedcruz denegraded the American military because of a Russian recruiting video? Free advice: bad bet

[Mark Hertling @MarkHertling]

But the expansion of @NATO and the west are threatening Russian borders.

[Fabrizio Tassinari @Fatassinari]

As a young researcher I was once tasked to take minutes for a @JoeBiden speech in Venice. Afterwards he gave me his manuscript which i cherish (note marks for pause/emphasis).
Often go back to it & wonder where we’d be today without this Cold Warrior so deeply attached to Europe

[Mark Hertling @MarkHertling]

Woke up early to Putin's "State of the Russian Federation" remarks. It's mostly being reported due to his comments about him deciding to end the New Start Treaty agreements.

While that was significant, there was MUCH more. 1/

HOLD OFF ON WWIII TALK. Russian weapons suck terribly. The Poland strike was likely a damaged weapon crashing after missing its target. Just remember when it’s Russian they’re not called HIT-TLES, they’re accurately called MISS-ILES bc they MISS all the time.

[Samuel Ramani @SamRamani2]

Poland’s Prime Minister Mateus Morawiecki has also declared an urgent national security meeting

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Interesting. <Googles Bible verses with “loser” in them>

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Now that it’s obvious the @gop should expel the Trump family from its future lexicon, stop @GOPLeader from ever holding leadership again, and tell @TulsiGabbard nah we’re good… how long until @TuckerCarlson gets booted to OANN? A guy can hope

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

The red wave is not happening. Lots of wasted money by McCarthy.

He cannot be a happy man tonight.
