Government Surveillance in an Age of Pandemics
CCTV cameras. For most people—and especially *Lawfare* readers—the word “surveillance” conjures up images of law enforcement investigations and foreign intelligence operations.

And as the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, brings American economic and social l... more »

The Cyberspace Solarium Commission Report and Persistent Engagement
In the recently released Cyberspace Solarium Commission report, the commission reaffirmed Congress’s ongoing support for the Department of Defense’s “defend forward” strategy as operationalized through persistent engagement (DF/PE) by U.S. Cyber Command. Indeed, the last of the six “pillars” organizing the commission’s recommendations—“preserve and employ the military instrument of power”—focuses entirely on DF/PE within the context of the military instrument’s contribution to the commission’s proposed strategic approach.

Coronavirus offers more proof why China needs to shut down live wild animal markets for good
The Chinese wildlife trade is mired in long-held beliefs about the benefits of eating exotic and often endangered animals for good health. But the reality stands in stark contrast. The markets in China where live wild animals, including endangered species like pangolins, are bought and sold have often acted as petri dishes for the germination and spread of deadly diseases like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the deadly bird flu, with each outbreak claiming hundreds of human victims. Now, once again, China’s wildlife markets have spawned another global public health cr... more »
The Air Force Can Launch a Lot of F-35s at Ounce but Is It Good Enough?
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_S1AETOKYVNAB&share=true] The F-35 still has many technical issues though. *Key point:* Mass take-offs are a good way to attack an enemy or avoid incoming fire into your airbase. But there are many other issues that need resolution. On Nov. 19, 2018, two U.S. Air Force wings in Utah launched thirty-five F-35 stealth fighters in a short span of time. *This first appeared in November 2018 and is being reposted due to reader interest.* The air force lauded the display a... more »
Mass Exodus: How Washington Became a Ghost Town Haunted By a Pandemic
*Maggie Ybarra* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] People began disappearing from the Beltway's trains, buses, and streets as the coronavirus quietly began to snake its way around the nation's capital. On my last day in Washington, the train was mostly empty. Some commuters wore medical masks. One man donned a gas mask. He’d been wearing it for days. The train dropped us off at Union Station, which, for me, has always served as the doorway between one life and the next, the one that swings back and forth between the gritty beauty of Baltimore and the pink-tie bravado of Washi... more »
The Navy's Big Question: Why Buy Another Carrier If You Can Get 2,000 Hypersonic Missiles Instead?

Would it make sense to instead build more missiles as China is doing?

Trump and Modi Herald The Downfall of The Indo-U.S. Partnership
*Minaam Shah* *Security, * The U.S.-India partnership did not have to go this way. The history of Indo-U.S. ties in the twenty-first century has been marked by incremental and steady advance. At the heart of this relationship have been the shared values of democracy and liberal internationalism which have acted for the relationship as both raison d’être and modus operandi. Even as the two countries failed to extensively cooperate during the Cold War, India and the United States have come a long way since. The two countries signed a civil nuclear deal in 2008, bilateral trade is e... more »

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.

"The Moral Principle..."
"The precept: "Judge not, that ye be not judged" is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. There is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. To abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accessory to the torture and murder of his victims. The moral principle to adopt in this issue, is: "Judge, and be prepared t... more »
