Stevenson’s army, July 28

I’ll be away for a few days, but I wanted to highlight good news about Congress.

– Senate passed its NDAA. And the appropriators did their job.

– The House is another story.

– Problems in Haiti — State warning; New Yorker analysis.

– Problem in Niger with broader ramifications.

– Tom Friedman sees US mideast push

-Politico Nat Sec Daily analyzes Biden/Austin relationship.

-Commerce & Defense together on industrial base.

Some ideas to ponder: Maybe social media don’t worsen polarization.

– Maybe dictators aren’t so effective

-Maybe there’s a feasible peace in Ukraine.

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).
