Stevenson’s army, October 28 and 29

– Fed Kaplan critiques the nuclear posture review.

– Atlantic Council team has good menu of options related to Russian nukes in Ukraine.

– Robert Draper worries about the GOP.

– WaPo says Russians are undermining Moldova.

– National Security Archive has more on how JFK lied to keep Cuban missile deal secret.

I failed to post yesterday’s edition:

– DOD released its new National Defense Strategy.  Here’s NYT analysis. The Guardian notes the nuclear posture section.

– National Security Archive has JCS documents during Cuban missile crisis.

– House Veterans Affairs Committee warns of extremists in the military.

– House GOP plans tough China policy.

Somalia wants more US drone strikes.

– Army strategist has good ideas for defense innovation.

NYT has good background on micro-targeting of political ads.

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, with occasional videos of my choice. 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).
