My new article in Strategic Studies Quarterly: The Missile Defense Review has many strengths but is insufficiently aligned with the National Defense Strategy, falling short of the central metric of sufficiency: complex & integrated air & missile attack. https://t.co/K96hYZUteY

The HTK gang settled in to sort fact, fiction, & our favorite nuke movies, in our event on A House of Dynamite.

HAPPENING NOW: Join @CSISDefense for a conversation with @heatherwilly, Kari Bingen, and @tomkarako to discuss Netflix's new film, A House of Dynamite and what we may learn from it. Watch it live here:

What might a nuclear attack on the U.S. homeland look like? How would decisionmakers respond to an incoming threat? Join @heatherwilly, @tomkarako, and Kari Bingen as they discuss Netflix's new movie, A House of Dynamite, in a new HTK series episode on 11/4 at 4:00 PM.

President Trump on NYT reporting he's seeking $230 million from the DOJ in response to the investigations into him: "With the country, it's interesting because I'm the one that makes the decision, right? And that decision would have to go across my desk. And it's awfully strange

“They would need help for targeting, mission planning, just operating the weapon…The corollary benefit is control, inasmuch as the U.S. might not want the Ukrainians putting this through the window of the Kremlin.”

An excess of patience is not a virtue. Enough already. Time to send some Tomahawks to Ukraine.

As with Hamas and the fighting in Gaza, bringing the Ukraine war to an end requires speaking the only language that Moscow understands: force, write Seth G. Jones and @tomkarako https://t.co/de99St4Nhj

Last week, @Missile_Defense's @tomkarako testified before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence about NORAD modernization and the prospect for air and missile defense improvements for both the U.S. and Canada. Read more:

There’s many challenges to making Ukrainian Tomahawks operational—e.g., limited ground launchers, the complexity of mission planning, targeting reliance, & real inventory limits. And it makes good sense to do it.

Great discussion of all things Golden Dome and missile defense led by @JenJudson.

A Step Toward Peace: “I’m Going to Send Them Tomahawks” by Seth G. Jones and @tomkarako

Send the Tomahawks to Ukraine. https://t.co/Yl97BhPfaA

The CSIS Missile Defense Project will bring the heat to the AUSA conference this week. IYKYK.

Last session, @CSISAerospace director Kari Bingen talked about streamlining missile and air defense sales to U.S. allies. Tomorrow, we'll be hosting a new discussion on New START and whether to extend it.

With my colleagues @tomkarako and Kari Bingen, the HTK series will be weighing-in on the debate about whether the US should observe New START limits. Join us on Friday! https://t.co/HbbbewbPL6 @csisponi @CSIS @CSISDefense

Last week @tomkarako and the HTK crew channel their inner Marie Kondo. Does the MTCR still spark joy? Let us know what you think about their historical deep dive.

Despite the tedious litany of headlines & press releases about “shooting $4 million missiles against a $40,000 drone,” the majority of day to day CUAS engagements are in fact made by guns or CUAS effectors. Like Coyote.

"The latest MTCR update is welcome, overdue, and wholly insufficient," writes @Missile_Defense expert @tomkarako. "The geopolitical, commercial, and strategic conditions under which MTCR began in 1987 are long gone." Read the full brief:

This is all great. But one reason that until about {checks watch} five minutes ago, that the focus was on terminal was due to repeated requirements emanating from certain quarters of the DoD insisting terminal was the only way to go. Which was wrong. Because layered defense.
