In Training for Victory, frank sobchak moves past the “does advising work?” debate to ask when and how it works best. Design choices—like consistent contact between advisor/counterpart pairs & institution-building—really matter. 🔗 Irregular Warfare Initiative review: irregularwarfare.org/articles/us-mi…

One of the clearest lessons from the Musk/Trump dustup is that Trump is a purely transactional being. He has zero loyalty to anyone even though he expects it from everyone else. This should not be a surprise to anyone paying attention, but to those just tuning in, enjoy the show

Thankful for the well thought out and insightful review by Dr. Dr. Alexandra Chinchilla on my new book, Training for Victory. Check the full review here, which includes connections to her Ukraine SFA research Influence by Design: Reassessing U.S. Military Advising podbean.com/ep/pb-hbqri-18…

Incredible work being done by the press to keep facts building on facts. Grateful. This entire WSJ report overnight starting with this lede on how White House orders sparked LA crackdown is both chilling and informative. /1
