@atabatabai.bsky.social and I examine how Ukraine-Gulf counter-drone cooperation may be the first visible node in a new network emerging among U.S. partners-one Washington didn't design and doesn't yet know how to engage. The U.S. should figure out how to be a proactive participant in that network.
On Rational Security, @sranderson.bsky.social sat down with @nkorpett.bsky.social, @atabatabai.bsky.social and Joel Braunold to talk through the week’s big national security news stories, including the war with Iran, the U.S.-European transatlantic relationship, and more. youtu.be/XOS-Kxz0K-Y
Just so we’re clear, the contours of the deal with Iran, as currently outlined in the press, suggest a “more-for-less deal” that has the U.S. giving a lot for not much in return.
If a Democratic admin pursued such a deal, its members would get dragged through the street of Washington.

"Rather than fragmenting the EU and empowering nationalist governments, U.S. interventions have thus far helped further consolidate Europe’s political identity and commitment to greater strategic autonomy vis-a-vis the United States," writes @j-dren.bsky.social and @atabatabai.bsky.social.
On this week's Rational Security, @sranderson.bsky.social sat down with @lapatina.bsky.social, @tylermcbrien.com, and @atabatabai.bsky.social to discuss the week's national security news including Russia's ground offensive in Ukraine, a potential U.S.-Iran deal, and more. youtu.be/ttav_hw9PCs
