Stevenson’s army, August 6

Several things from last week still look significant:

– WSJ on the muddled US response to the Niger coup

– NYT analysis of Xi’s replacement of top nuclear forces officers

– Politico’s analysis of the early months of the “tough on China committee”

– Rand’s multi-expert report on US security challenges

– NYT’s history of the NRA, including key role of members of Congress

– CNAS’ annual review of US sanctions

-Brookings’ analysis of recent congressional oversight trends

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.
