Post-Assad Syria: ‘Now Comes the Hard Part’ Ambassador Gary Grappo, in today's Cipher Brief, says "The U.S. and moderate nations in the Middle East "have been handed an extraordinary opportunity. There’s an opportunity to move Syria into the camp of moderate Arab states, which is what we should strive for. I think it would be a little naive to try and foist a Jeffersonian democracy on a country that has absolutely no familiarity or history with democracy, but certainly a country that fosters stability within the country as well as in the region. And that should be our objective." Read the full piece exclusively in today's Cipher Brief https://lnkd.in/e-GgdYiU

DEEP DIVE — The protests and police crackdowns convulsing the nation of Georgia represent more than one more global conflict zone; they are also the latest frontline in Vladimir #Putin‘s efforts to extend #Russian influence, and reimpose #Moscow’s authority on nations that were once part of the Soviet Empire. Many experts believe that what happens in #Georgia – much like what happens in #Ukraine – will go a long way to determining how far Putin‘s aggression can go. #thecipherbrief
Georgia's 'Tipping Point' – and Why It Matters for the World

From 2007 – 2012, the Pentagon secretly funded a small program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program tasked with investigating reports of military encounters with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. In 2020, the Defense Department launched a new unit called the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force led by the U.S. Navy. And in 2022, the #Pentagon created the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office – meant to identify, track and better share information with Congress and the public about the events they could not explain and looking at those events through the lens of national security. But Navajo Ranger Stanley Milton, Jr. was way ahead of them in terms of tracking and sharing information he was gleaning during his three decades working as a law enforcement officer in the #Navajo Nation. So what does he want you to know about UFOs? #TheCipherBrief Listen here, or wherever else you listen to your podcasts. https://lnkd.in/g2FmXNBW

I spoke with Nick Thompson for The Cipher Brief about the threat to the vast, unseen backbone of global communications that runs along the seafloor — an important discussion as incidents of damage to undersea cables and other subsea infrastructure are on the rise.
Officials believe #Russia and #China are targeting undersea cables in "gray-zone" attacks against critical global communications infrastructure. How great is the risk? And what to do about it? A Cipher Brief conversation with former CIA Paramilitary Officer Nick Thompson. #TheCipherBrief

This is such an excellent post from Jeremy Hitchcock because he’s hitting on so many opportunities here to bring skilled professionals into the start up fold who have excellent knowledge of the gaps that exist in government. Nearly every national security professional I talk to - and there are a lot of them - agrees that it is the private sector leadership and innovation that will ensure future national security, supported by government. No longer the other way around. Excellent leadership on this issue Jeremy! New North Ventures Stephanie Usry Bellistri Brad Christian The Cipher Brief
Startups are born when you have an urgency to create and space/resource to make it happen. One example of a pipeline of entrepreneurs is through a program called Skillbridge, a DoD transition program. Soon-to-be-transitioning armed service members have a "fellowship" with a company. As a venture fund, we love to enable them to diligance a business idea and start a company. This is a great template for creating new companies. I now have two examples, but there must be others. Love to post a round up of thse.
