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.

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).
