I think I am done here for a while. Feel free to hit me up @[email protected] for a less plutocratic environment.

The first time a Vietnamese navy vessel has visited any Western country. Baby steps maybe but shows the role that Australia and multilateral exercises can play in drawing Vietnam out and encouraging it to play a more outward looking role on regional security.

👇Valuable research.

Great to see VADM John Hill perform the oath of enlistment for a group of young Americans.

@BDHerzinger Maybe a case where innovation doesn’t follow existing chains of responsibility or authority.

[John Schaus @schausdc]

This. Relevant across a range of concerns.

Mike @KofmanMichael and I wrote about the upcoming Ukrainian offensive and what comes afterwards. Although Ukraine will likely make gains, this offensive is unlikely to end the war. Western countries need a plan for supporting Ukraine for a long war.

Ukraine should serve as a wake-up call to re-evaluate the purpose and pace of existing munition control systems and move them to the pace we will need—before we need it.

The National Security Strategy is pushing the United States to work more closely with allies and partners. Current munitions control policy is slowing progress. A quick explainer with @ElizHoffman and I on ITAR.

China's spy balloon fading from the headlines may be a good thing--we need time to reflect and assess how to move forward. Quick thoughts from me on how to do that: https://t.co/u0eQKXIeDO

Are U.S. weapons inventories getting too low because of transfers to Ukraine? Although most inventories are acceptable, some key munitions will take many years to replace, writes @csis_isp expert Mark F. Cancian.

Congratulations to everyone @nasa and the many partners who are making #Artemis real. It took some time, but today is already an amazing day.

[John Schaus @schausdc]

In the past 6 months, I have received 2 contact requests on @signalapp from what I will call "dubious" outreach. In the past 75 minutes I have received 3.
Anyone else having this experience?

[John Schaus @schausdc]

@WWATMD No. To confuse would be to understand that the latter is possible (or dare I say, required). We think deterrence is a seasoning to be sprinkled over an otherwise unrelated, and military-only, action.
