Stevenson’s army, March 23

I am back from a week in Doha when I wasn’t posting, and Charlie is back from a few days away:

Back at my desktop and partway through the accumulated newspapers, here are some links.

– Stimson has a bunch of reports. I especially liked the “Chimera of Technological Superiority” paper.

– Lots of Iraq reflections [today is the 20th anniversary of the start of the US war]. Reporter John Walcott was right.  As was Jim Fallows.

– A Marine calls for a more family friendly military personnel system

– SAIS prof Ed Joseph sees a Kosovo deal.

– US News said US intell helped India against China.

– Fred Kaplan assesses the Xi-Putin summit. WaPo notes the absence of a pipeline deal.

– Two views on US aid to Ukraine: surprising success or much too slow.

– NYT analyzes DeSantis foreign policy.

– Max Boot sees return to 1930s GOP foreign policy.

– RollCall notes Biden’s high success rate with Congress.

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).
