Good piece from @steveholland1 and @andrea_shalal re: a phenomenon I've written about before. Ref. Hussein 1980, 1990, 2003 (e,g,). Authoritarianism and dogmatism; what Norman Dixon called the "Mothers of [Military] Incompetence." #UkraineWar #Reuters reuters.com/world/putin-ad…
As a great quote often falsely attributed to Lenin goes, "There are decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen." So it may be with European security and the transatlantic alliance this week.
Are Ukrainian forces trained to operate all of this equipment? If not is there a plan for this? I'm wondering most about the Saxon AV's and whatever fighter aircraft are sent...? #GloryToUkraine #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineUnderAttack
A stunning example of real leadership and patriotism in a world with too little of both. #SlavaUkraini #GloryToUkraine #GloryToTheHeroes #UkraineRussiaWar theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
They know the odds and they’re going anyway. They’re standing in defense of the entire free world. It’s our values they’re fighting for. The truths that we “hold to be self evident.” #GloryToUkraine #SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkriane
#Putin isn't the type to take to the streets with an AK when the chips are down. He'd be the type found five months later in a spider hole with a thick beard and a briefcase full of cash. #UkraineRussia #Ukraine #GloryToUkraine
Ukraine’s heroes are defending more than Ukraine. They chose to fight for the free world. The values we share aren’t any one nation’s to defend. We’re stronger together, and they shouldn’t have to do this alone. #GloryToUkraine #FreeUkraine #DefeatPutin wapo.st/3IqOQOL
I’m struggling with the fact that a civilized world is going to let these people possibly die this evening and we are caviling over whether we should let his murderer bank with the rest of the world. God save them and bless them. #UkraineWar
Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. #GlorytoUkrain #Glorytotheheroes cnn.com/2022/02/25/eur…
Leadership and heroism are products of individual character, and they can manifest in unlikely places. Zelensky came to power as a comedian and actor. His resolve and defiance have been inspiring to watch. #GloryToUkraine nytimes.com/2022/02/24/wor…
A good piece by @Tmegrisi on the electoral chaos unfolding in #libya, widely overlooked as the world monitors #ukrainecrisis. Worth reading. #MENA The man from Misrata: Why Libya has two prime ministers (again): ecfr.eu/article/the-ma… via @ecfr
Watching this #UNSC session on #Minskagreements. Adlai said it best on 10/25/62. “Mr Zorin & gentlemen, I want to say to you, Mr. Zorin, that I don’t have your talent for obfuscation, for distortion, for confusing language, and for doublespeak.” #UkraineCrisis

🇧🇭 🇺🇸 Today, Bahrain is more than just any military partner to the US: #AbrahamAccords and factors such #Iran #terrorism #China demonstrate the growing importance of the Kingdom to the US regional policy @ChirineMchantaf @BreakingDefense @AirPowerAnalyst breakingdefense.com/2021/11/bahrai…
Spoke with @ChirineMchantaf and @BreakingDefense on the continued indigenization of military tech in UAE, the Gulf and broader MENA. Her reporting is excellent, as usual. breakingdefense.com/2021/09/us-uae…
New podcast in which we discuss the problems surrounding unsupported Over the Horizon operations. Good discussion. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
