No, the Trump Administration Is Not Going Socialist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a familiar criticism of the Trump administration’s decision to take equity stakes in American companies: socialism. The argument is straightforward. Government should not own pieces of private companies. Markets, not bureaucrats, should allocate capital. Once Washington starts buying stock, the United States is supposedly on the road to a government-directed economy. It is a good political talking point. It is not a particularly good economics lesson. Econ 101 teaches that free markets
The President Doesn’t Need a One-Trick Army (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Washington has spent decades asking the wrong question about the Army. Every few years a new strategy arrives and the debate resets. Should the Army be larger or smaller? Heavy or light? Optimized for Europe, the Indo-Pacific or homeland defense? Built for counterinsurgency, large-scale combat or multidomain operations? These are reasonable questions, but they share an assumption history keeps disproving: that someone will tell the Army in advance what it needs to become. That is not how the wor
The Pentagon Can Build Killer Drones. It Needs to Move Faster. (opens the original)

While increa
Killer Drones: Ready or Not, Here They Come (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Killer drones are coming. Shrinking populations and accelerating technology are pushing every military—America’s included—toward machines and software in the kill chain. No treaty, pope, or Congress can put the genie back in the bottle. The live question is whether the US will develop these systems prospectively, with the time to implement safeguards and test, or reactively, in the midst of a crisis. This report argues that America needs to develop these systems at a greater pace and integrate t
Preparing for Conference on the Annual Defense Policy Bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Congressional defense authorizers should again be commended this year for the difficult work in producing bi-partisan versions of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in both the House and Senate, making progress in fulfilling the key Article 1 power within the constitution to raise and maintain the armed forces. The Armed Services Committees of both chambers defy the common perception that the Congress is not doing its job by completing the hard work of writing comprehensive legis
