@MichaelShurkin Both have grand strategies that are biased towards the offensive, their ideas of deterrence are applications of coercion instead of threats, and both think they are on the defensive: Israel's=the existence of the Jewish state, Iran's=perpetuate the revolution/regime security.

@JonahDispatch The Dispatch slush pile?

[Dr Greg Olsen @gtotango]

@MichaelShurkin According to Byman and Kreps (2010), the fundamental weakness of state sponsored terrorism is the problem of policy slack in the principal-agent relationship. The capacity for independent action by the agent can foil the strategy.

What I am reading.

@downpressor Clams has a lot of personality.

@AzorInfo Habitual failure to stop at stop signs will continue in the state. 😏

[Dr Greg Olsen @gtotango]

@DrJLHazelton Also one of my favorites. My “intellectual” uncle (he was a professor of psychology courtesy of the GI Bill) had a Hiroshige coffee table book that I liked looking at as a teen.

@downpressor On business trips to 🇯🇵 I often entertained clients at Western style restaurants, since they wanted something special. And often the food was fraudulent in that substitutions were made like soybean oil for olive oil in Italian cuisine.

As someone who makes the time to read 50-80 books per year and as many journal articles at the expense of video content, I endorse this sentiment.

I am saddened by the firing of Adm Fagan as Commandant of the Coast Guard. I got to know her as Pacarea, heck she came out with us on an ATON verification mission one time. She is a great leader and an even better human being.

@SkinnerPm For whatever reason house cats like to watch their domestic staff take bathes. 🤷‍♂️

@fejesmg Military students may lack certain skills but they make up for it in discipline and enthusiasm. During my masters in IR probably 40% of the students were USAF jr officers and sr enlisted seeking the required credential for an embassy posting.

@downpressor Hex and counter and cat do not mix. You will end up finding a hex under the sofa three years later.
