Stevenson’s army, July 11

So I’m back home for a few days and have scanned the papers. What’s still significant?

-President Biden put his Mideast policy into a WaPo  op-ed just before his Wednesday trip to the region.

– Reuters says US likely to resume arms sales to Saudis.

– Heads of MI5 and FBI put out joint statement on threats from Chinese Communist Party

– NYT says US will tighten export controls as part of plan to counter Chinese tech.

– Defense News says NATO will do country-pairings to strengthen eastern flank.

-Politico has good background article on CODELS.

– Hill staff survey finds hopeful signs.

– Report notes that Hill office budgets can be spent on non-election TV ads.

– Hill article summarizes research on sources of political outrage.

– And Dana Milbank says Gingrich and McConnell deserve significant blame for fueling distrust in government.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request.
