Stevenson’s army, April 15
– The administration this morning announced new sanctions on Russia for its cyber activities.
– There’s lots of news and commentary about the Afghanistan withdrawal announcement. I’ve just begun to read it. It’s best to start with Biden’s speech.
-One significant fact, Politico reports, is that Biden overrode military advice.
– Today the House Intelligence Committee has an open hearing with the IC leaders.Here’s the video of yesterday’s hearing before the Senate committee.
