Stevenson’s army, February 6

All you really need today is the NYT:

– It reveals Ukraine briefing to Congress, emphasizing Russian capabilities despite uncertain intentions.

– It reminds how Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons.

– It surveys US options, noting defense of Ukraine is off the table.

– And it details the strange recent career of former LtGen Mike Flynn.

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