Stevenson’s army, Febuary 28

– SIGAR has a new report on why the Afghan forces collapsed.  There’s a summary by WSJ.

– NYT has long report on US training of Somali commandos.

– USTR has a new report on Chinese compliance with WTO

– Max Boot reports on Ukrainian corruption problems.

– NYT reports promised tanks are not arriving in Ukraine.

– More US troops in Thai exercises.

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, with occasional videos of my choice. 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).

– House GOP fights earmarks.
