Pleased to be quoted in this AFP News Agency article on Chinese weapons in the India-Pakistan conflict. With Siemon Wezeman, Yun Sun, Bilal Khan, James Char, Jennifer Kavanagh and Brian Hart. yahoo.com/news/chinese-w…

Glad the US taxpayer has $36 billion laying around to be told the Army has no place in US-China future war — again. Must read from Jennifer Kavanagh Defense Priorities , always the straight shooter (link below)

Need to mention this every time the topic comes up: Israel cannot meaningfully damage Iran's nuclear program alone. It cannot mount a wholly effective air defense without US assistance. Netanyahu knows this.

Why is Hegseth taking the Army down a dead end path to Asia again? Jennifer Kavanagh (link below)

The U.S. Army has been trying & failing to find its role in Asia for over a decade. The latest effort at "generational change" launched by Sec. Hegseth on April 30 will also come up short. For Responsible Statecraft, I explain why the Army can't "pivot to Asia." responsiblestatecraft.org/hegseth-army/

My article in this week’s Blue Blaze—what policy is the Trump admin pursuing toward Taiwan, and what are implications for stability? open.substack.com/pub/blueblaze/…

Thanks Fareed Zakaria for highlighting Jennifer Kavanagh's and my proposal for a "third option" for Taiwan's defense.

"The idea that the United States should reduce its military involvement overseas is spreading among American politicians and diplomats. One reason is that millennials in their 40s, many of whom are skeptical of military intervention, are becoming centers of decision-making in

Very strong commitment from NATO to meet President Donald J. Trump 5% defense spending target. This is the new standard for our allies around the world, especially Asia. politico.eu/article/mark-r…

Armed neutrality is the most likely & most feasible outcome. And it's very achievable, even given constrained Western defense production & Ukrainian & Russian security concerns.

Join me, George, & our fearless moderator Kelley B. Vlahos Friday @ 1pm! We will debate the admin's Ukraine policy--where we agree, disagree, & the best path forward.

Did you miss this? High level discussion, a lot of disagreement over "walking away from Ukraine' , but as you might guess, some common ground too over the timing. The window is closing, say Jennifer Kavanagh Defense Priorities & George Beebe Quincy Institute . See full debate here :
