Wednesday NatSec Roundup

Observe. Orient. Decide. Act.

• We can haz transcript? Also so much other stuff on this.
• Lawfare has a good timeline of the Ukraine situation, including consequential media accounts and major Trump tweets.
• ArmsControlWonk has a nice little post on the nature and design of the cruise missiles that struck Saudi Arabia last week. If you can ingest podcasts, I strongly recommend this one from the same folks.
• Not exactly national security, but here’s a good account of what’s gone wrong with Boeing. My note of caution here is to exercise some caution with respect to believing that Boeing used to be awesome; the “engineer culture” and the “safety culture” were capable of a great many evils, many of which were wreaked upon the workforce and the associated communities in Western Washington.
• Nguyen Van Bay, one of North Vietnam’s few remaining fighter aces, passed away this last weekend. Read here for an account of how he brought down an F-4 Phantom with a MiG-17; fascinating stuff.
• Space Force, motherfucker!
