Interesting new article by Erica (Borghard) Lonergan and Michael Poznansky in Security Studies. If I was still teaching a cyber course, this would definitely be on the syllabus: "Competing Visions for US Grand Strategy in Cyberspace" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I’m very excited to share that my second book - “Great Power, Great Responsibility: How the Liberal International Order Shapes U.S. Foreign Policy” - is officially forthcoming with @OUPPolitics. Keep an eye out for it in the summer 2025!

My latest article with Michael Joseph on how secrecy fuels certain kinds of innovation is officially out in International Organization!

Out now in Foreign Affairs: William Wohlforth and I argue that critics of the Biden administration's relatively gradual approach regarding military aid to Ukraine underestimate the difficulty of navigating redlines during war. foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/real-r…

A common criticism of Biden’s Ukraine policy is that U.S. officials have been too credulous of Russia’s stated redlines. Read Michael Poznansky and William Wohlforth on what these critiques are missing: fam.ag/3DPMFXv

Providing military aid to Ukraine gradually was a reasonable strategy for Washington, as it enabled Kyiv to accumulate increasingly capable weapons without triggering dramatic escalation from Moscow, argue Michael Poznansky and William Wohlforth. fam.ag/3DPMFXv

ICYMI: William Wohlforth & I have a new article in Foreign Affairs. It's a deep-dive into the challenges of navigating redlines in war. One is the lack of good analogies. Another is how a fearful autocrat armed with nukes might react to threats to his survival. foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/real-r…

Biden’s Ukraine strategy did not offer ringing victories, but it did push back against Russian aggression, write Michael Poznansky and William Wohlforth. Slowly and carefully, Biden succeeded in eroding and undermining Putin’s redlines. foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/real-r…

Today in War on the Rocks, Erica (Borghard) Lonergan and I argue that two recent, high-profile cyber ops by China against the US--Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon--are fundamentally distinct threats requiring distinct solutions. warontherocks.com/2025/02/a-tale…

The United States should stop treating all Chinese cyber threats the same — Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon demand distinct responses. ow.ly/j4iy30sKh4b

Pleased to share my latest with Erica (Borghard) Lonergan in War on the Rocks. Recent Chinese cyber ops against the US represent serious but fundamentally different kinds of threats and call for distinct solutions. Treating them the same is a misdiagnosis of the challenge. warontherocks.com/2025/02/a-tale…

It's website official! Keep an eye out for my forthcoming book in late-summer 2025 with Oxford University Press. global.oup.com/academic/produ…

Out today in War on the Rocks, Erik Sand and I take stock of what Ukraine and Israel's spectacular deep-strike drone operations back in June mean for the sanctuary of the US homeland moving forward. warontherocks.com/2025/08/specta…

Excellent analysis here of what this summer's spectacular Israeli and Ukrainian drone attacks do-- and don't-- mean for U.S. Michael Poznansky Erik Sand

Nice piece in War on the Rocks from Michael Poznansky and Eric Sands. Quite timely given some muscle movements from the Pentagon. Lots of good recommendations. Cc U.S. Naval War College warontherocks.com/2025/08/specta…
