Here's some of my @cnn.com appearance this afternoon discussing a tentative nuclear deal between the US and Saudi Arabia that will allow the Saudis to enrich uranium without adopting enhanced international safeguards. Experts are concerned that this could provide the KSA a path to nuclear weapons.
Marked a small professional milestone last weekend — I made my CNN on-air debut to discuss stockpile levels for key U.S. missiles.
And for you nuke nerds out there, Part Five lays out our project methodology, to include how we built the Fallout Machine and the technical assumptions that went into our strike simulations. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Part Four draws out policy recommendations from the experts that I interviewed for this series. What, if anything, needs to change about U.S. strategy on silo-based nuclear missiles to keep Americans safe? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Part Three examines how the next-generation Sentinel ICBM program got so off-track, and what it will take to keep the missile on-time and under-budget moving forward. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Part Two focuses on the debate over whether land-based ICBMs are worth the $141 billion investment currently underway to modernize them. Do they keep America safe? The experts I interviewed wildly diverge. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
My old Army unit called me today — two years after my interservice transfer — looking for OCIE gear that I returned in June 2022 🤠 ~~~ A wild FLIPL appeared! DAVIS used OCIE CLEARANCE MEMO! It’s super effective!
I am in the tall guy sweet spot for this concert — my view remains unobstructed, and I’m not blocking anyone behind me
Very full house for a panel discussion on the Army’s recruiting reforms here at #AUSA
