This is a well thought out & long overdue effort. All FIVE of our maritime efforts need shipbuilding reform & resources- USCG, U.S. Navy, U.S Army (yes the Army), Military Sealift Command, and MARAD at DoT. We have to fix all FIVE maritime force providers foxnews.com/video/63735070…

Ukrainian F-16s are making a difference on the battlefield and saving civilian lives from brutal Russian missile attacks - with a little more help from the US and key allies they can do even more. Great work Netherlands/Denmark and soon Norway/Belgium nypost.com/2025/05/29/opi…

VOA & its partners RFE/RFA need to be funded & operated to tell the American story and debunk lies told by China, Russia, Iran & others. If the Admin does not like the product they should fix VOA not disarm the US in the influence ops field Ivana Stradner washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

Sean Plankey will be a great CISA Director - and we need CISA's long term leadership in place now. CISA is the nation's Civilian Cyber Defense Agency - any delays on national security selections only advantage the adversary. forbes.com/sites/emilsaye…

Great speech by SECDEF, he called the CCP an imminent danger to democracies in Asia. Now we should explicitly & publically grow our tools to combat the CCP & support Taiwan - bilat exercises, the Joint Training Team & the Taiwan Security Coop Initiative defensenews.com/pentagon/2025/…

At last month's RSAC, I participated in a panel titled "How & Why Major Threat Actors Leverage Cyberpower to Subvert Democracy". The brilliant Gentry Lane and I discussed adversary use of cyberpower during peace, competition, and conflict, as well as adversary motivation,

If Iran is foolish enough to strike out at the US in retaliation for this, then America should respond with B-2 Stealth Bombers and Massive Ordnance Penetrators that would finish up the job on Iran’s nuclear enrichment and storage assets. nypost.com/2025/06/14/opi…
