Stuff that I didn’t get a chance to blog:

• Dave Mustaine continues to justify the hiring of Kirk Hammett.
• Chinese answers to the question “Why did the Soviet Union fall?”
• Drones that can capture rather than kill.
• The evolution of Japanese defense strategy.
• Russia lays down a new class of boomer.
• The cultural components of Mitt Romney’s foreign policy pitch.
