Stevenson’s army, February 13

– IISS released its annual military posture report, covered here.

– Here’s the background report for the Munich Security Conference, beginning this weekend.

– UN report says North Korea has made over $3 billion in cyber attacks.

– USAF will keep B52s for decades more

– Just before dawn today, the Senate approved the $95 billion foreign aid package.

-The FY2025 budget won’t be released until March 11.

– Dan Drezner updates his Ideas Industry [part assigned for week 12]

History lesson: this is the 100th anniversary of a highly restrictive immigration law, anti-Catholic nativism at the Democratic National Convention, and Rhapsody in Blue.
