Putin is under pressure to end his war - from surprisingly close allies
As ever, Kremlin politics has more than a touch of the "Yes, Ministers" about it, as hawks try to persuade Putin to keep on with the war, while pragmatists hint at virtues of an end

New: @InsiderEng and its consortium partners obtained 2,000 documents from Bauman University in Moscow. There’s a secret Department 4 embedded within the school that acts as a Hogwart’s for the GRU— feeding fresh talent to Unit 29155, Fancy Bear and Sandworm. The curriculum is written and taught by spies. https://t.co/VrYpMGTtxr

New episode of The Beijing Brief is out today. @ryanl_hass and I discuss the state of the PLA with the redoubtable @JohnCulver689, whom I consider the country’s top expert on this issue.

Is China’s military as strong as it looks? https://t.co/oqfdphGe1u

Three months ago: meeting Putin at the Kremlin alongside Kushner and Witkoff. Now: sharing a building with Kristi Noem.

ICYMI: As Hegseth has fired 20+ generals and admirals, there is one general who has skyrocketed through the ranks. And now he's in line to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Who is he? And why has he risen so fast?

My latest.

The Iran war has provided a short-term boon for Russia. But it is Ukraine that may well score the bigger long-term gains.

The problem with John Healey’s tough on Russia
(Not least that it widens the gap between rhetoric and reality dangerously. My take for @SpecCoffeeHouse)

@MarkGaleotti @JulianWaller Thank you for your response. Of course if the speculation were based solely on the idea that his actions are beneficial to Moscow, no one would really be asking this question. But that line of reasoning was already questionable years ago, let alone in light of recent developments

[DnsSctt @dnssctt]

@MarkGaleotti @JulianWaller think this position has aged well.

[DnsSctt @dnssctt]

@MarkGaleotti @JulianWaller Please don’t take this as criticism (I’m literally a fan, not just of the podcast, but of your work as a whole), but over the past four years I’ve asked you four times whether Orban might be a Russian asset. Each time your answer was a resounding no. I‘m just wondering if you

Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest:

The @BritishArmy has been directed to triple its lethality. But how should lethality be measured in force design? Nick Reynolds and I have written a paper on this for @RUSI_org: https://t.co/v4ryyfuoWu

Putin is apparently so spooked by reports that Israelis hacked Tehran's traffic cameras to kill Khamenei, that he has stopped coming to the Kremlin, started taking his meetings virtually, and shut down cell service in Moscow.
