Ran for almost a week.

Looks right in line with METR’s time-horizon graph.

Rant of the day: The creditworthiness of our nation is critical to national security. Every major war we have fought has been funded in part by our ability to borrow. Anything that puts our ability to borrow at risk calls into question our ability to deter aggression. (1/3)

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

@moverhaus @CSBA_ We didn’t make recommendations on specific inventories or locations. Hopefully we can do a follow-on study focused on exploring what would be enough.

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

And how the employment or targeting of unmanned systems could be a signaling tool in times of crisis.

[Todd Harrison @ToddHarrisonDC]

This incident and the President's thinking about how to respond raise a lot of good issues we will increasingly encounter as we rely more on remotely operated systems in the air, sea, land, and space domains. What is a proportionate response to an attack on an unmanned system?

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

Exactly, we’ve ceded ground for years, it’s past time to strengthen our conventional deterrent by investing in these systems.

@ChasMorrison @chairmang @ElbridgeColby @jmcohn @JerryHendrixII @hughhewitt Thanks @chairmang! If you are serious about Asia and the military balance with China, these are the conversations we need to be having.

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

Different theaters, different requirements. Range is the price of entry in Asia.

[Eric Sayers @DEricSayers]

Recent @CSBA_ report shows why 500km is relevant metric in Europe but a completely arbitrary range limitation in Asia.

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

@show_murano And thanks for sharing yours.

If this just wasn’t enough for you, checkout the more detailed report released today: https://t.co/Ra3L26Hf8U

[Evan Montgomery @evanbmontgomery]

My colleagues @ToshiYoshihara and @jmcohn have a new piece in @TheNatlInterest looking at the role of land-based missiles in Asia.

It supports my priors, so it must be good. https://t.co/QMsBl31SXG

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

@bergerrichard @PKouretsos @CSBA_ @ToshiYoshihara They also provide a resilient means of reassuring allies. Particularly if our military capital assets are increasingly vulnerable.

[Eric Sayers @DEricSayers]

Most important issue no one is talking about, mostly because the western press is ignoring it or not equipped to cover it.

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

@Whitney_McN Yeah, the 26 hr part is what spurred my comment. I’m just hoping you make it before your talk.

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

@Whitney_McN Ick, hopefully not much longer.

[Jacob Cohn @jmcohn]

@Iron_Spike I think so too :-)
