The new cyber strategy should make some waves. Bold tone; robust declaration that we will commit to winning in this domain.

Smart stuff from the brilliant Carrie Filipetti at @VandenbergCo !
🧵ICYMI: A few thoughts post press conference from our ED, Carrie Filipetti, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cuba and Venezuela in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and the Deputy Special Representative for Venezuela at the U.S. Department of State.
A few things the President seemed to get right, and a few things on which I have serious disagreements. Most notably, the allusions to US control of Venezuela and the lack of understanding about MCM's remarkable base of support. If we want to keep America and Venezuela safe, supporting the democratic transition is the bets way.

The #Venezuela raid is over. Maduro is reportedly on a ship headed for jail—but this story is just getting started. Three things to watch next 🧵👇

Final note: Social media is full of garbage right now—fake videos, fake photos, bad takes. Stick to trusted sources like my colleague @RyanBergPhD, for what’s real.

Europe’s wake-up call. This NSS shows a cavernous gap between how Europe sees itself and how Trump sees Europe. The message: defend yourselves; pay your own way. The language about “losing European character” edges into dangerous territory. This is the section I hated the most.

China: mixed reactions. Beijing will like the emphasis on respecting sovereignty and preference for non-interference in other countries' business and hate the "get out of Latin America" message and the tougher deterrence posture. More analysis coming as the NDS lands!

Intensive negotiations are ongoing this week on another Ukraine peace plan. While the Trump administration’s unorthodox, hard-hitting approach to negotiations have forced parties to the table before, it’s too early to know if this approach will work, notes CSIS's @EmilyHardingDC.

No. Just no. If this is an initial Russian offer in a long negotiation, ok. If it’s take it or leave it, leave it.
Bullies like Putin only respond to strength. This reported “deal” is just a signal that Russia (and China) can take what they want.

“The United States has been losing a war it did not know it was fighting, and it has been losing for the last 20 years.”
If this opening line of Vandenberg Advisory Board member @EmilyHardingDC's new report for @CSIS is more of a jolt than your Monday morning coffee, tune into our latest Flash Focus episode.
In a conversation with @CorbanTeague, Harding discusses how can America turn the tide, leverage its strengths, and close its cyber gaps.
