I'm looking forward to speaking at the Colorado Foothills World Affairs Council tomorrow on this new reality of a world without arms control treaties and how that might affect the future of nuclear proliferation. If you're in the Denver area, do come by! #Nuclear #ArmsControl

🚨 Where is nuclear competition in South Asia and the Indo-Pacific today? What impact does US-China competition have on nuclear proliferation in Southern Asia? I answer these questions in my new Texas National Security Review piece: tnsr.org/wp-content/u...

Pakistan calling a meeting of the Nuclear Command Authority - the top body that oversees its nuclear arsenal - is irresponsible and dangerous. Even though it might just be signaling - its one that raises stakes of the conflict. www.reuters.com/world/india/...

India's embarrassing botched hitjob in NYC shows that Njjar's killing in Canada was a part of a larger program of assassinations by the Indian government. How do you trust a Quad partner that is trying to set up a program of killing folks in the USA? [PoliSky] www.nytimes.com/2023/11/29/n...
