"The #NSS largely ignores US-Russia relations. The only core US interests related to Russia are reducing the risk of conflict between Russia + Europe and reestablishing 'conditions of strategic stability,' which indicates the administration’s desire to work more closely with Moscow." buff.ly/LW50DXj

🆕 Drones and Mass Salvo Attacks: Lessons Learned from the American Defense of Israel - Read the report by FPRI President @aaronstein1.bsky.social, based on a series of interviews with US personnel directly involved in blunting the April 2024 Iranian attack on Israel. buff.ly/meVdO7e

My latest for @fpri.bsky.social is part of a multi-chapter series on the lessons learned from the 12-day war. I interviewed US military personnel directly involved in the drone defense of Israel to document challenges for future US planning and for NATO from RU drones www.fpri.org/article/2025...

The blogfather @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social and I sat down to talk about the potential for a return to nuclear testing and what we think it may mean - www.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/1220...

DoD (DoW?) doesn't run US nuclear testing. DoE does. So I think the actual tip off of what Trump meant came from the statement itself. But who knows. Renewed US nuclear tests was on my bingo card for any GOP administration, as @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social and I discussed on our podcast many times

Ankara covets Meteor as part of the Typhoon deal, which helps explain the price point, with the Eurofighter consortium (that and localized weapon integration). Good deal for the UK.

Very big news for us @fpri.bsky.social 👇 www.fpri.org/news/2025/10...

Tomahawk and missiles on Russian borders have always been a major irritant for the leadership in Moscow, so there are ample reasons to believe that any such deployment will ignite the Russian leadership’s anxiety. buff.ly/QBAK6tD

I'll be adding another chapter next week on the Shahed defense based on interviews with key personnel involved for @fpri.bsky.social

@aaronstein1.bsky.social and I wrote for @fpri.bsky.social about everyone's favorite once-and-future GLCM, the Tomahawk, and its potential redeployment to Europe: open.substack.com/pub/behindth...

I teamed up w/ @fpri.bsky.social fellow @slair.bsky.social to write about one of our favorite missiles :: American Missiles and Russian Dachas: Tomahawk and the Future of Stability and Deterrence in Europe open.substack.com/pub/behindth...

Very pleased to announce that @fpri.bsky.social will be teaming up with/ @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social & @slair.bsky.social for a 2-year Carnegie Corps funded project. We will be working directly with commercial space on a roadmap to strengthen space security www.carnegie.org/news/article...

It is truly an eyebrow raising moment in history when you have a Turkish ruler -- who loves Ottoman iconography -- championing a British-run Palestinian enclave in the 2025 AD.

Can the United States afford to give away some of its most advanced undersea assets while trying to outpace China’s military expansion? Find out in #BehindTheFront buff.ly/CJ1pza5

The limitation on US investment in the Turkish nuclear sector is the BOO model. Not a lack of interest historically from Westinghouse et al. It is simply too capital intensive for private entities to finance a reactor based on a fixed price of kWh purchase agreement over 20+ years.

I wasn't making it up: US won't sell F110 w/out the F-16 and cannot sell F-110 to SSB w/out CAATSA being resolved. Can't resolve CAATSA w/out S-400 compromise. Tr also cannot "rejoin" the F-35 consortium. It can purchase F-35 but only w/ compromise on S-400. www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-...

We are quite proud of this @fpri.bsky.social

We @fpri.bsky.social just finished a large study on drone incursions in the US. Most are accidents. Yet, proliferation of UAS has created an exploitable environment for malign actors seeking to conduct close target reconnaissance, or potentially even kinetic attacks against critical infrastructure.

The Nov. 15 Turkish shoot down's context and actual history has been lost to time: 1) The first TuRAF shoot down was an Orlans-10 in mid-October; 2) The US sent a mixed C & E model squadron to Incirlik, arriving 11/06; 3) The fencer shoot down happened on 11/24. More conext needed: 1) USAF F-16/A-10

We have big plans @fpri.bsky.social and cannot wait to get started with our new distringuished fellow @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social and fellow @slair.bsky.social www.fpri.org/news/2025/09...

The US has placed no preconditions on RTE for his meeting w/ Trump. RTE is holding out for F-35 and has paused the F-16 discussions. Trump cannot give on F-35 b/c of the NDAA/Congress. W/out an agenda or preconditions -- think S400 -- then the actual pathway for forward movement in a bilateral

Portugal can't afford F-35. This is a wide decision.
