[Sen. Jim Inhofe @JimInhofe]

The Biden administration’s 30-year Navy shipbuilding plan is an incoherent, choose-your-own-adventure story with three different bad outcomes, each of which raises more questions than it answers.

To drive home the ongoing inadequacy of our response to the Chinese naval/maritime challenge, here's an updated ship count/estimate of the PLA Navy vs. USN, using data from this week's FY 23 budget request as well as the most recent CRS Report on Chinese naval modernization. 🤦‍♂️

An amazing professor who was genuinely kind in every interaction. Not to mention, a great sense of humor. She will be missed at @Georgetown

Below is a statement from the family of @Madeleine:

[Eric Sayers @DEricSayers]

Germany overhauling their defense policy/budget. Abe raising the idea of a nuclear sharing agreement w/ Japan and pushing the US to overhaul Taiwan policy. The war in Ukraine has opened new policy doors that weren’t there 4 days ago and Moscow/Beijing should be very concerned.

[Eric Sayers @DEricSayers]

The quality and quantity of high-end conventional munitions matters and we have been slow to resource this gap in favor of new platforms. We should buy more long range conventional air/sea launched strike weapons (and no I’m not talking about hypersonic).

[Eric Sayers @DEricSayers]

You can’t overstate this. We’ve been telling ourselves conventional warfare will be hybrid or gray for 15 years. Clausewitzian warfare no longer was politically palatable. This shocks my mental map of what the scope of possibilities are.

[Eric Sayers @DEricSayers]

A serious DoD global posture review for Asia must continue to realign access in the Compact States and N. Australia, move additional attack submarines to Guam (at least 5 but probably 6), and work to start rotating Army or USMC units to Japan’s southwestern islands.

[Jesse Dougherty @dougherty_jesse]

Wholesome.

For folks reading about French shock and surprise at cancellation of the Attack-class diesel submarine program, here's a taste of what those of us who follow this stuff have been reading for quite a while before things came to a head: https://t.co/RV9VRREl1u

We know there will be new airbases in the north added to the list of locations the US will operate from (RAAF Darwin/Tindal were added and built out for tankers/bombers a decade ago). My guess is this is an announcement to deploy ground-based missiles in the near future.

One of the best to ever do it…

Congratulations to Max Scherzer on reaching 3,000 career strikeouts.
