Building a DoD CB Defense Program and Guiding Countering WMD Efforts A thought experiment as we go into the next budget examination

In a perfect world, we could have better CB defense gear and a more robust Defense Threat Reduction Agency. almauroni.substack.com/p/building-a...

This is less certain than much of the discussion makes it out to be. Three of the nations that have nuclear weapons – the United States, Russia, and China – […]

Why Nations Don’t Want Nuclear Weapons

THIS. Stupidest move by the Biden natsec community. Absolutely no one asked for this or changed a thing after it was announced.

This was obvious during the Integrated Deterrance Era. What is integrated deterrence you ask? I don’t know. No one knows. It was never defined. It was nothing. For four years are strategy was a mystery term that no one could define.

YES. Agree completely. Never liked their attitude of “oh hey we did it, we reinvented deterrence”

Lord have mercy. I just wanted a simple shooter where I could kill bugs.

I haven’t played for a while. Do they still have those flying dragon things? I disliked how slow it was to get those damn rare samples

Jesus wept.

The editorial board is truly the worst. Worse than the WSJ even. Their guest editorials have increasingly been right wing commentary that absolutely no subscriber asked for. My subscription runs out next week and I will not renew.

Good pushback on some of the more alarmist claims about Iran's potential CBW capabilities.

Iran Does Not Have a Chem-Bio Weapons Program It's an attempt to make a bad regime look even worse

Lots of chatter about Iran's CB weapons capabilities, but one has to wonder about the credibility of these claims. almauroni.substack.com/p/iran-does-...
