The relationship between #deterrence and cooperation on #DefenceScience and #Technology is often implied but rarely explained. At best this is a missed opportunity; at worst, it's a vulnerability that courts misperception. #AUKUS

There are plausible reasons to defend Taiwan, but its military value is not one of them. China thinks threatening the US at range is a prerequisite for conquest of the island. Thus conquest of the island is not a prerequisite for threatening the US at range.

Big news from Berkeley Risk and Security Lab. We are hiring for FOUR new positions. If you're interested in working at the intersection of #technology and #security (with a little bit of #wargaming in the mix) here at the University of California, Berkeley, join us:

My article "Preparing the U.S. Cyber Force for Extended Conflict," co-authored with my @NWC_CIPI colleagues Jay Vogt and Dan Grobarcik, won 2nd place for @NavalInstitute's information warfare essay contest. It's now out in @USNIProceedings here: https://t.co/s2T7vbRwxY

#Taiwan "needs to ensure the foundations of its information strategy are laid well in advance of conflict." Great comparison and contrast with #Ukraine by Jason Vogt @m_poznansky and @NianaSavage #infrastructure #cyber

Every leader knows the vital role of cyber, but finding qualified personnel remains a challenge. This article sheds light on talent management in the military cyber community. (1/2)

To quote my boss, "it is the first time I ever heard 'that man took a beating while trying to write these 14 pages' said as a compliment!" Appreciate the shout out from Dr. Nina Kollars on the ChinaTalk podcast, “DoD Tech Strategy,” with @jordanschneider
