Tuesday NatSec Roundup

I am a Ford, not a Lincoln.

• The perils of Chinese naval modernization…
• Interesting little story about Georgia and the Su-25 Frogfoot attack jet. Georgia is a pretty small country to be able to produce and assemble an attack plane all on its own. I’m also curious about the IP rights situation.
• Army finally expressing some openness to renaming Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, and the other major bases named after Confederates. For a nice sense of how this matters within the military, listen to this podcast interview of a USAF lieutenant colonel.
• Space Force? More like Space Farce, amirite?
• Russian thinking on nuclear deterrence.
• Real world side-by-side comparison of a Nimitz and a Ford class carrier.
