Stevenson’s army, January 12

– SAIS Profs Eric Edelman and Tom Mahnken have been named to the new bipartisan panel Congress formed to review the new National Defense Strategy.-

– The Bulwark has an excellent analysis of the shortfalls in defense of the Capitol on Jan 6. Organizational cultures and bureaucratic processes contributed to the mess.

– Daily Beast shows Putin losing his temper.

I’m off for grandparent duty for a while. But the papers will accumulate and I’ll review them when I return.
