Stevenson’s army, May 30
– The president may want to use active duty US troops in Minnesota and elsewhere, but there are limits, making it unlikely. National Guard under control of the governors is already occurring.
– The president also wants to get out of WHO, but that’s illegal, too.
– The Flynn calls with the Russian ambassador have been released. Flynn lied and may have broken the moribund Logan Act, too.
– Hudson Institute has leading China hawks. Here are their latest pubs
– FP says Taliban are in disarray.
– NYT says Colonel heading Niger operation has been denied his promotion to one-star.
