Stevenson’s army, June 28

– NYT says Russian general knew of mutiny in advance [Either that’s true or a good way to sow dissent in Kremlin]

– CNN says US didn’t tell most allies about Wagner plans

– Putin admits Russia funded Wagner

– Economist reports how Wagner shot down Russian aircraft

– NYT says US public opinion limits thaw with China

– POGO report on US shipbuilding problems

Charlie later added this Wednesday bonus:

– Politico’s Global Insider has more on various Russian private armies.

– WSJ says Prigozhin hoped to capture senior generals.

– Elliot Ackerman sees a weakened Russian force.

– David Frum worries about GOP calls for attacks in Mexico.

– Stimson analyst sees no real US consensus on China

– SAIS grad explains why US hasn’t ratified Law of the Sea convention

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).
