In this op-ed piece to @RCDefense I argue that fresh leadership at the head of the Office of Under Secretary of #defense , Personnel & Readiness through a nomination by the new Trump admin, will be central to revamping #recruiting for the #USmilitary. realcleardefense.com/articles/2025/…
I interviewed @klkuzminski, Director of Studies at the @CNASdc on the topic of the #draft planning in the #US: a difficult but important conversation if a full #mobilization is ever needed. #peertopeerconflict #China #Russia buzzsprout.com/2231197/episod…
My latest article shows how US' overreliance on local interpreters (instead of sourcing domestic assets) added hundreds of thousands to evacuate from #Afghanistan, and #US reputation was hurt when it proved unable to bring them to safety still to this day digitalcommons.usf.edu/jss/vol18/iss2…

The #US desperately need to revive its domestic shipbuilding capabilities, yes; but collaboration with partners like #Fincantieri is also crucial. Also: lessons from how Italian shipbuilding more than satisfies domestic defense needs (60-70% is export) monocle.com/business/finca…
Perhaps increasing budget, certainly establishing multi-year contracting and simplifying procurement process, but ALSO limiting #Congress' excessive involvement in NDAAs details should all be strategies to fix US defense production foreignaffairs.com/united-states/… via @ForeignAffairs
I forgot to publicize my interview of Dr. Zachary Seldon on #sanctions and #Russia as part of #GNSI #GlobalandNationalSecurityInstitute 's What Happens Next from a couple of months ago. youtube.com/watch?v=qaffaf…
Europe has the capability (manpower, equipment, industry, experience) for a unified military defense-force. Northern Europe is now afraid enough to have the will. I am skeptical that the P.I.G.S. (Portugal/Italy/Greece/Spain) are also! foreignaffairs.com/north-america/… via @ForeignAffairs
Fantastic article by colleague and friend @MahmoudianArman . While an incomplete, divided #Ukraine is a depressing prospect, turning into a bulwark against renewed Russian expansionism would be making lemonade when the geostrategic table hands you lemons. nationalinterest.org/feature/postwa…

Since the morning, payment machines in many (if not all) public transportation vehicles in Tbilisi are playing pro-🇬🇪🇪🇺 and anti-regime audio recordings uninterruptedly. Drivers can’t turn them off. What a great use of hacking. #GeorgiaProtests

Not necessarily saying he's right on all points (particularly comparison with US invasion of Sicily in 1943 is actually very informative), but making some great ones #china #taiwan #usa realcleardefense.com/articles/2025/…
Very glad to see a reliable partner like #Australia securing their defense with #F35 fighters but not sure #albania had any role in it as claimed by @airforcetechnology and attributed to Australian minister @PatConroy1 #typo airforce-technology.com/news/australia… via @DefenceTech_Mag
Neat little tool to know exactly how much a #servicemember of the #USMilitary earns across branches, ranks, duties, and the Nation. Salaries aren't that competitive with civilian careers. But money shouldn't be the main drive to enlist either military.com/benefits/milit…
I told @bbcpersian that the collapse of #Assad’s regime has both positive and negative implications for West. It weakens #Iran & #Russia's influence, but risks a 2nd Syrian civil war. If HTS & SDF clash over power, Syria could become a hub for jihadist groups, with HTS links to…
