Stevenson’s army, February 24

Both WaPo and NYT  report internal administration debates over how to sanction Russia.
WOTR has a piece on how Treasury’s OFAC has been doing sanctions. Good background. 
NYT tells how SecState Blinken is working from home [DC] rather than traveling.
Knives out: GOP looks to oppose USD[P] nominee Kahl.
Congress is suddenly more popular [35%], highest in 12 years. [Well, they have been passing bills and spending money]
Provocative think piece: WOTR says Navy can prevail against China if it drops goal of maritime supremacy in the Pacific.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. 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).
