Stevenson’s army, November 19
– There’s a deal to extend the CR until Dec 20.
– Administration delays its Huawei ban for another 90 days.
– USAF wants to cut its Global Hawk force.
– Politico says it’s “lights out” for the EMP program.
– On the 100th anniversary of Senate defeat of the Versailles treaty, Walter Russell Mead says the defeat didn’t matter as much as the death of Theodore Roosevelt. I do think it mattered. Even though the US was not really isolationist in the 1920s, it did sit out security issues, where it might have made a difference. More importantly, my research convinces me that the treaty could have been approved if Wilson had been willing to accept modest reservations. So the fault lies with him.
