BJ Armstrong wrote a terrific essay on the Battle of Midway and you should spend some time reading it

Gaming the system for Israel while it spies on us is a choice

What would day one of Chinese rule in Taiwan actually look like? https://t.co/BDhMPY5ctO

@eastdakota @_asadmemon @pmarca His company is literally essential to how the Internet works. Why would he be afraid?

There's really only one reason I can think of for Israel to leak this now, and it's to drag Azerbaijan into the war

[Florian Flade @FlorianFlade]

Exclusive: #Israel sent troops to #Azerbaijan during Iran war as part of secret network across region, sources say https://t.co/MGFdjnEhk8

You're in good conpany. Most people haven't come to grips with the fact that markets can only be rational insofar as investors are rational and well-informed. Most are operating with incomplete information and outdated assumptions, colored by career incentives. And they are mostly betting other people's money

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

Some of our friends and readers are asking why I haven't written a follow-up to my piece on this administration's failures of strategy in Iran:

https://t.co/pzWJvMysz9

The honest answer is that the fundamentals, which is what my article is about, haven't changed. I could write about it again and again, but the fallen tree is lying there in the muck for everyone to see.

The administration can show you a great pile of Iranian wreckage. It keeps a tidy ledger of everything it has broken (while a steady flow of leaks reveals how Iran is reassmenbling it). But wreckage tells you nothing about whether a strategy exists. You can destroy a great deal and accomplish nothing.

What the White House cannot tell you, still, is what it wants the region and the world to look like once the war is done (and despite legal dodges to avoid Congressional power, the war is not done) and how the war and, now, negotiations will make that happen. That is the whole of the matter.

Questions about the presidents intent for future of the regime, loose nuclear material, the Strait, and energy markets should have been answered before the campaign plan was written. The purpose of strategy is to design military action around objectives, not to vamp around a shifting and hazy array of aims after military action has begun.

The administration resembles a man who set out on a long road with great energy and no notion of where he means to arrive. As someone who toiled alongside our servicemembers with our British and Danish allies in Afghanistan, that sure feels familiar.

Success in war is measured by whether your efforts bought you a better end and a better peace.

I am still waiting, with my fellow Americans, to hear what that is.

[Michael C. Horowitz @mchorowitz]

New podcast! Joined What a Day with @CrookedMedia to talk about whether the "killer robots" are inevitable (no), whether military adoption of artificial intelligence is inevitable (yes), and about how to thread the needle between under and over-regulation https://t.co/9G3mSXAsmg

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

Marked for listening

[Patrick Porter @PatPorter76]

I joined my colleague Adam Quinn to talk about the Iran war, its roots, conduct and the difficulty of its termination. Have a listen!

The U.S. has spent billions building frontier AI models. Chinese labs have spent just thousands learning from them.

@gunzofbrickston That is just what he is pleading to as far as the agreement

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

He deserves to be held accountable. This investigation began in 2022 during the Biden admin. Bolton broke the law. He's been miscast as some sort of hero for years just because he became a Trump critic. Don't fall for it.

[Ken Dilanian @KDilanianMSNOW]

New: Former Trump National Security advisor John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a single count of retaining classified information related to a diary entry. Under the agreement, he faces up to 60 months in jail and a $2.25 million fine. The plea deal would settle a massive indictment that carry decades in prison and millions of dollars in legal fees.

[Camille Grand @camille_grand]

So, in a nutshell, Putin managed, in only 4 years to fail to defeat Ukraine, to bring Finland and Sweden into NATO, to have Poland and Lithuania lobby to host nuclear weapons and to increase defense spending twofold across Europe: a master strategist! https://t.co/W89MgVIySO

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

Everyone freaking out about Bernie Sanders' new AI bill should be comforted by the fact that bills he has introduced virtually never become laws. It's been many years since the last time.

Does China think time is on its side? Mira Rapp-Hooper, Amanda Hsiao, and Dean Cheng help us grapple with this most important question on your favorite national security podcast

"The Battle of Midway has assumed a place in American naval lore that has put it on par with other great battles in world naval history."

My mutuals with this guy: I see you follow him and I'm judging you for it. If character were currency, he'd be insolvent.

Oh look, another third world gremlin coming to grift a living in the U.S. while gazing haughtily upon our institutions and citizens.

We're in our 250th year of not caring what the effete graduates of "His Majesty's Center for Kids Who Can't Govern Good and Who Wanna Learn How To Be An Actual Nation Again" thinks of us.
