Monday NatSec Roundup

Robert’s got a quick hand
He’ll look around the room, he won’t tell you his plan
He’s got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth he’s a cowboy kid

• On the latest assassination of a nuclear scientist in Iran…
• Okinawa at a crossroads.
• Oh hey lasers! Nice rundown of what’s making laser weaponry viable, with an accompanying interesting story about the passback between civilian and military technological applications.
• Good summary of the Armenian-Azeri ceasefire. Not a lot of optimism about it holding.
• The prospect of Greece taking F-35s originally tagged for Turkey does not seem likely, but it would be a lovely “fuck you” to Erdogan…
• On the prospects that war in Ethiopia might spread across the region.
