The Battle of Savo Island wasn't lost because of inferior technology. It was lost because no one knew how to use the technology they had. warontherocks.com/2026/04/th…

The era of AI-enhanced cyber conflict is upon us - but even though new AI models are scary good, the defense has more to gain than the offense. That argument holds even against the most recent evidence, as I show in my new lawfare piece.

Read @joelfbrenner 's new piece in @lawfare about AI and the degree to which it can make predictive judgments in complex environments.
The International Security article is now *free to access* @mitpress : doi.org/10.1162/ISEC.a.399

Even the most capable AI will face limits on its ability to make predictions and substitute for strategic decision-making, writes @joelfbrenner. lawfaremedia.org/article/myt…

Excited to finally be able to share my new article "Deception and Detection" in @IntSecHarvard
In a nutshell, I argue that cyber defense has more to gain from AI automation than the offense.

American Presidents invariably claim that the use of U.S. military force abroad benefits the local population. U.S. Presidents often explicitly or implicitly claim that "the intervened population" therefore welcomes U.S. military intervention - a powerful moral claim.

"Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz tops the list of global energy security nightmares," wrote Caitlin Talmadge in 2008 in @IntSecHarvard. The aftermath of limited strikes on Iran would be complicated and costly.

As Ron Krebs demonstrates, aspiring populist demagogues love dead soldiers but hate serving officers. The former can’t answer back when their memory’s exploited, but the latter are the greatest potential obstacle to demagogic authority - hence efforts to cow and politicise.
Update: in just over year Hegseth has now fired the CJCS, CNO, CGC, Air Force CoS and Vice CoS, Army CoS and Vice CoS, Head NSA, Head DIA, and IG.
