Plenty of cheering from the sidelines for the US to bring about World War III. Russia seeing Ukraine strike the early-warning radars it would need to see a nuclear strike coming is unhelpful. The NATO Sec-Gen is cheering it on. Jake Sullivan needs to give him a call.

"Ukraine needs 4.27MM artillery shells a year to 'perform effectively' on the battlefield...the U.S. is able to produce just 432,000 shells annually." It's grim accounting—especially re: manpower— but Mike DiMino ran the numbers and finds no silver bullets defensepriorities.org/explainers/no-…

Hard questions about Taiwan need to be asked of Washington's myriad Taiwan advocates, writes Lyle Goldstein. For instance, how can U.S. forces prevail in a hypothetical war against China through a logistics train over 10,000 miles across the Pacific? washingtontimes.com/news/2024/aug/…

Moving forward, Iran’s leaders “will trust diplomacy even less than before,” writes Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar. “Instead, they will lay the groundwork for a long war of attrition with Israel—and a potential nuclear breakout.” foreignaffairs.com/israel/islamic…
