Delighted to see my words in Foreign Policy, where I discuss the likely technical limitations of the Burevestnik system. It's no silver bullet.

very amusing to me that the initial response to the f-35 having noticeable flight issues was an hour long conference call with lockmart

Oh its adorable. Look at its tiny wheels!.
China’s People Liberation Army employing unmanned ground vehicles imitating US-made M142 HIMARS launchers during exercises. The vehicles are painted in the camouflage used by the Taiwanese army.

Still looking for this.
Someone help me out here. I could have sworn that Lewis and Xue had in one of their books or articles a fantastic table explaining the purpose of particular documents in Chinese policymaking. Now, I can't find it.

"Ramirez! Defend the Le Dip!" Just doesn't have the same ring to it.
The National Guard is defending the crime-ridden Le Diplomate in downtown DC.

Once again I am forced to break out the Hideo Kojima Apology Card.

I ADORE the Russian military commentator community's collective delusion that every time China unveils a new weapon, obviously its based on technology the Russians gave China. This may come as a shock to some of you but the Chinese are capable of original thought.

Went to Galaxy Hut in Arlington and got possibly the biggest spider bite I've ever had in my life, 10/10 weird bar experience.

I am dreadfully confused as to why Ukraine is showing so much imagery of their critical missile production facility. I have geolocated North Korean facilities with less.

This is still true - there are many great summer programs (Hudson!) and early career programs on the right side of the aisle. There are fewer in the left side, and many of them are, comparatively, poorly funded.
I noticed this as a fresh out of college research assistant at CSIS 25-30 years ago. Republicans were on average more eager mentors, better managers, and more willing to let young people have their turn. Great bosses on the whole, just with . uh, curious . policy views.

Perhaps one of the greatest openers to an arms control text in history
I am so pleased to see Richard Speier's magnificent 1995 history of the MTCR available online.

Quite a large CIC for a vessel that size - my sense is that room is larger and has more stations than a comparable US DDG.

The difference between Twitter and Bluesky in terms of what stories stick is fascinating.

Wow, that is a STEEP launch angle!.
First videos of Ukrainian “Flamingo” missile launches have emerged. The video was published by Ukrainian outlet Dzerkalo Tyzhnia. The outlet also reports that the missile has a 1,150 kg warhead and a 3,000 km range. It claims the missiles have already been used
