Stevenson’s army, January 17

– WSJ sees divisions in Israeli cabinet

– Iran fired missiles into Iraq and Pakistan.

– Senate overwhelmingly defeated Sanders amendment on Gaza

– North Korea sees South as enemy

– Biden meets congressional leaders about Ukraine

– USA Today has 911 call on Austin, key personal details redacted

– Atlantic Council has special report on Defense Innovation

– Graham Allison says US allies are already planning on a new Trump administration

And on this 61st anniversary of Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell address warning of a “military-industrial complex,” newly discovered documents show it went through over 20 drafts. This article does not mention what I’ve read elsewhere, that an early version referred to a “military-industrial-congressional complex,” but that was changed for political reasons.
