Stevenson’s army, August 11

– Ukrainians are putting war news in ads on Russian porn sites.

– China drops promise not to send troops to Taiwan.

– GOP is advocating violence.

– Former FSO says State should develop doctrine for diplomacy.

– Historian David McCullough died over the weekend. Douglas Brinkley remembers him.

McCullough wrote his books on a manual typewriter, even though it was slower than a computer, because he liked to hear the bell at the end of each line.

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. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
