– WaPo has a ticktock on the M-1 decision, giving credit to SecState Blinken.

– WSJ warns of European concerns that time may favor Russia.

– Brookings’ Michael O’Hanlon, drawing on his new book, warns that most leaders underestimate war duration and deaths.

– CRS has some good new reference materials — on the Pacific Deterrence Initiative, the State/Foreign Ops appropriations for FY 2023,  and where to look in the Constitution to satisfy the new House rule requiring a Constitutional basis for each bill.
