UnthinkableAge

  1. Back from falconing in Pakistan with Gulf State elite. Everyone nervous about Iran.
  2. In S'Africa for speech, thinking again on HIV/Hospice stuff. PEPFAR has nearly a million on ARVs now. Hospice care, tho, remains a dream.
  3. A chilling chart on the depth of the economic correction http://bit.ly/3jzlrE
  4. Obama's Shanghai Town Hall on www.whitehouse.gov/live. US has tried to get around controls by accepting questions emailed direct to embassy.
  5. On Fareed's GPS 1 PM today: What does it mean that Beijing sees Obama as weak, US as declining? Short answer: Less cooperation than we need.
  6. Don't miss al-Zawahiri's statement in advance Obama's speech: it's terrifyingly tactical; tells a lot about the moderate Muslim audience
  7. Or maybe it's "h2oh-no!" I guess it depends on the circumstance.
  8. @martinvars I have heard of that molecule. I think it's called "h2whoa!"
  9. The Pentagon's new Cybercommand is a step towards handling unthinkable hacker threats -- but they need to move incredibly fast.
  10. Time for a new NKorea strat. Among the goals: bring direct US-NK contacts to a close. It gives others an easy excuse for failure: the US.
  11. Go hear the Obama ASU commencement speech before you jump into your day. No matter where you sit politically, an amazing message
  12. A great NYT piece this morning on CyberWar cadet training at WestPoint. It's great, but our cyber army still too small, not important enough
  13. One of the Unthinkable threats we are still not doing anything about (no treaty or talks) leads NYT Web this am: Cyber danger from Iran.
  14. China's H1N1 reaction may seem overkill but it's a reminder. Beijing is obsessed with crisis control. We need to master that skill too.
  15. Tonight both Charlie Rose and Tavis Smiley, in both cases talking about how our old ideas may make the crises we face much, much worse.
  16. Swine flu is a classic Age of the Unthinkable problem. A post on what it can teach Obama's strategy team is now at dailybeast.com
  17. Nordland in NYT re Iraq and an AOTU theme: US milit pleased one day attacks are less sophisticated, then surprised the next by a big attack.
  18. See NYT on Taliban's surprising surge: exactly the sorts of backlash that makes the Age of the Unthinkable so dangerous if we use old ideas
  19. In LA for the Book Fair -- and on CSPAN Book TV tomorrow.
  20. Nye in WashPost agrees old ideas of int'l relats fail now: http://tinyurl.com/ccf8pt
